A CALENDAR highlight in the West Country is the one-day Mid Somerset Show (also known as the Shepton Show) in Shepton Mallet.
Reputed to be Europe’s largest free one-day show – and now in its 163rd year – it’s a celebration of all things agricultural: livestock rearing, country crafts, local heritage, and farming history. Competitions are held for animals, produce, and handicrafts, and other attractions include trade stands, classic car displays, and craft demonstrations.
