There is now less than one week to go until one of Cornwall’s most loved agricultural shows returns for another summer celebration of rural life.
Stithians Show will take place on Monday, July 13, offering a traditional taste of countryside heritage, a lively atmosphere, and a packed programme with something for everyone.
This year’s event brings together displays and demonstrations, animals, fairground attractions, vintage vehicles, food, crafts, and a wide range of shopping from trade stands and local producers.
