Camborne Show is gearing up to be the biggest and best yet.
Taking place on Saturday 18 July, it will be the second year that the annual event has been held on land at Gear Farm, just outside the town.
With what is expected to be the largest number of heavy horses taking part in a Cornish show this year, record numbers of livestock entries and all available trade stands booked, long-standing chairman Reg Bennett says he’s looking forward to another good event.
“Our attendance figures were around 4000 in 2025 and, if the weather is kind, I expect that to increase,” he said. “We moved from our previous site so the show could grow and that’s certainly happening at Gear.
“We’re operating a park and ride from Camborne rugby club and there’s a free shuttle bus from Morrisons in Pool and Troon Square. We’re only a fifteen-minute walk from Camborne Library and there’s free car and cycle parking at the show ground.
“There’s a lot of agricultural land in Camborne parish and Camborne Show is all about bringing the countryside to town and getting our community together.”
The first Camborne Show took place in 1942 after being set up by the Holman family as a way of fundraising for the Red Cross.
“The event has become part of our history and heritage, and BID (Business Improvement District) is delighted to support it,” said Anna Pascoe, BID Camborne manager.
“There’s plenty for people to see and do – including craft and domestic tents, a vintage vehicle rally, horticultural displays and horse and dog shows.
“A really fun day out for the whole family that I can’t recommend enough.”
Tickets cost £10 per adult and £5 per child over the age of 12.
