One of the mainstays of the Show, the music that fills the air around every corner. Live music and dance can be found across the showground, but mainly at our two dedicated music stages and dance stage. The Kelly’s of Bodmin Stage and the Vertu Motors Stage have a daily programme crammed with a wide range of genres and styles from sea shanties to rock, and even steel drum bands! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds at your pleasure. The Cornwall Festival of Dance Stage, situated near the Flower Show, features almost 300 performers across styles such salsa, contemporary and much more. Full programmes will be confirmed closer to the Show.

With nearly 1000 trade stands, selling everything from cars to cheese, you are bound to enjoy a bit of retail therapy. Highlights include the Royal Cornwall Food & Farming Pavilion, the Motor Fair, and our dedicated arts and crafts marquees.

You’ll find all the fun at the fair at the Royal Cornwall Show. Experience the thrills and spills of a Victorian-era fairground. Complementing this theme is the Vintage Rally and Steam Fair with an impressive range of machines with the sights and smells of yesteryear.

The Food Chain Hub is the perfect place for your little ones to have some fun and learn all about food and farming at the same time. The children can enjoy some hands-on learning with a range of activities, such as animals puzzles and colouring, as well as having a go a milking our (fake) goat Demelza!

Forest and woodland industries are vital to the economy of Cornwall, which is why an effort is made to promote this with its own dedicated area. At the centre of the exhibit is a traditionally built Forestry barn, made from Cornish Timber. There is an active programme of demonstrations and talks that brings this area to life, including wood carving and tree surgery.
