A monumental weekend awaits at the 125th Royal Isle of Wight County Show — one of the Island's most-loved annual events, and this year it's bigger and better than ever.
Since 1833, the Show has brought together the farming community and the wider Island to celebrate rural life at its very best. Two packed days of animals, action, food, and fun — there's something for absolutely everyone, from little ones to seasoned show-goers.
🆕 New for 2026:
🐪 Camel racing — wild, wacky, and wonderfully fast, coming to the Show for the very first time

🌾 What's on:
✅ Show Farm — get up close to pigs, sheep, goats, calves, chickens, ducks, and watch the cows being milked
✅ Fun dog show — bring your pooch! Classes include waggiest tail and dog most like its owner
✅ Dancing sheep display — if you've never seen it, you won't believe it
✅ Shetland pony Grand National — small horses, big drama
✅ Alpaca walking and animal handling
✅ Rodeo bull ride — brave enough?
✅ Show jumping, carriage trials and equine events
✅ Vintage tractor parade and Grand Parade of champions
✅ Village Green — fire-breathing, marching bands, face painting, and a bar
✅ Food Pavilion — meet the Island's finest growers, bakers, brewers and makers
✅ I Love Wight Makers' Market — jewellery, ceramics, homewares and more
✅ Island Arts Area — meet the artists and take home a masterpiece
✅ Tourism Pavilion — get inspired to explore the Island
✅ Livestock judging from Best in Class to Supreme Champion
