East Kilbride Farm Show
Saturday 31 July 2027
West Nerston House Showfields, East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire(G74 4NZ)
East Kilbride Farm Show traces its story back to 1772, to a fund set up for farmers who had fallen on hard times, and it is still run by volunteers as a charity that gives back to farming. On the showfields at West Nerston House in South Lanarkshire, cattle, sheep and heavy horses go before the judges, and riders take on showjumping, working hunter and showing classes. Step into the barn tent to meet the farm animals close up, then watch sheepdog demonstrations, sheep shearing and a parade of vintage tractors. Local makers fill the craft marquee, and anyone can enter the homecraft competition, which has a junior section for under-16s. The day also has a dog show and a food street, and all the parking is free.
