Royal Cornwall Show: What's on, parking and the changing weather

The Royal Cornwall Show 2019 has kicked off with a host of exhibits and activities for spectators to enjoy.

The annual county show is Cornwall's largest event and welcomes thousands of visitors across the three days.

From dancing to daredevils, and blacksmiths to burgers - the agricultural show has another full programme this year.

What can you expect:

• Atkinson Action Horses - The Equine Stars of Poldark

• Show Jumping

• The RAF Police Dog Demonstration Team

• The Parade of Hounds

• The Grand Parade of Cattle, Sheep & Goats

• Live Music

• Flower Show

• Motor Fair

• Cornwall Festival of Dance

• Fun Fair

• Street Theatre

• Blacksmiths' Competition

The event has been going for more than two centuries in Wadebridge, and this year more than 120,000 people are expected to visit.

The show promotes all the Cornish-grown and Cornish-produced food the region has to offer across the onsite cafes and restaurants.

See the map below for where all the exhibits and facilities will be:

Timings:

The main ring hosts its first event at 8am each morning and will close at 7.15pm on Saturday night.

There is a full list of programme events on the Royal Cornwall Show website.

Is there parking?

There are plenty of car parks around the site for visitors to use for free.

They are well signposted and close to the show ground.

Traffic around the area is expected to build up so get there early!

What is the weather like?

It looks like a bit of a wet day for the Royal Cornwall Show on Friday, as an area of low pressure sweeps across the county - wellies and raincoats at the ready as it'll feel on the cool side too.

Winds will pick up later, lasting into Saturday, which will be a drier and brighter day for the show, but still with some heavy showers moving through.
