🫏 Wanted: Tiny Ears and Loud "Hee-Haws"!
​The Yealmpton Show is looking for some very specific VIPs (Very Important Ponies... well, Donkeys) to join us this year. We have a serious shortage of "miniature" and a surplus of "adorable," and we need your help to fix it!
​We are officially on the hunt for Miniature Donkeys to come and steal the spotlight.
​Does your donkey:
​Fit in the back of a hatchback? (Okay, maybe not, but you get the idea.)
​Have ears larger than its entire head?
​Possess a professional-level ability to demand carrots?
​If you own a mini donkey—or know someone whose life is currently being run by one—we want to hear from you! We’d love to have these pint-sized icons at the show to meet our visitors.
​Drop us a message or tag a "Donkey Parent" in the comments below! Let’s make this the most "eeyore-ist" show yet! 👇

🤩 CALLING ALL CATERING KINGS & QUEENS! The 2026 Yealmpton Show Needs YOU (and your delicious wares)! 🤩
Are you a catering company with a flair for the fantastic and a desperate need to feed thousands of hungry Westcountry folk? Do you dream of serving your gourmet grub alongside the finest prize-winning sheep? 🐑🐄 Then saddle up, buttercup, because the Yealmpton Show on Wednesday, July 29th, 2026, is calling for tender pitches!
We're not just looking for food; we're looking for an experience. Think less "soggy burger van," more "culinary beacon of hope."
We need people who can help us answer the tough questions, like:
How many pasties is too many pasties? (Answer: The limit does not exist.)
Can a person truly appreciate a prize-winning marrow on an empty stomach? (Definitely not.)
Is it possible to spill a latte while chasing a toddler through the Vintage Tractor display? (We assume yes, so please bring strong lids!)
Seriously though, this is your chance to shine, rake in the dough, and become the legend whose hot dog stand saved the day.
📝 How to throw your (chef's) hat into the ring:
We're inviting tenders for pitches to sell Food, Drink, Refreshments, and general glorious goodness!
For all the important, non-comical stuff (like dates, insurance requirements, and where to send your bid):

➡️ Closing Date for Tenders: 17th January 2026

Don't be shy! Impress us with your menus, your hygiene certificates, and perhaps a small, but tasty, bribe (just kidding... mostly).
Let's make the 2026 Yealmpton Show the most delicious one yet! 🤤

🚨 ATTENTION: Vendors, Artisans, and Purveyors of Slightly Weird Wares! 🚨
​The 2026 Yealmpton Show Trade Stand Applications are Open – SECURE YOUR SPOT NOW!

​Forget the Olympics! The real contest is for a patch of hallowed Devon grass at the Yealmpton Show on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
​This isn't just an agricultural show; it's the most prestigious, slightly dusty, open-air department store in the South Hams. Where else can you find:
​A prize-winning pedigree bull.
​A man demonstrating a revolutionary, self-stirring jam spoon.
​The absolute best Devon cider this side of the Tamar.
​Your business, perfectly placed to sell bespoke dog bow ties/luxury garden gnomes/that questionable-but-delicious cheese.
​Spaces sell faster than a cream tea in a heatwave. Our Chief Trade Stand Steward, Mrs. Bawden, keeps a list that is more exclusive than a royal guest list. Do NOT miss your chance to pitch your gazebo next to the tractor display. It’s a retail power move.
​Stop scrolling and start pitching!

​✉️ To book your spot contact Mrs. K Bawden, Chief Steward of Trade Stands, at [email protected]

Dog show, children's entertainers, egg show, rural skills, Land Rovers, falconry, and some lovely candid shots.

Huge thanks to Bettina Morgan for her time and trouble taken on the day and subsequently with editing. Splendid documentation done well.

Chris Reid and the Come Bye Dog & Duck display team. Look at the focus on that dog's face (I think his name is Roy.)

Some super action shots of Atv Stunts - Paul Hannam and his team (including his 14-year-old nephew, I think, in the junior role.)

Some of the wonderful trade stands - look at those beaming smiles (bunch of posers! 😉 You beauties 😘) plus our rural crafts (the woodwork section) and some of the vintage department too.
