Mid-Argyll Show
Saturday 14 August 2027
Kilmory, Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute(PA31 8RT)
Mid-Argyll Show has been going for well over a century, and today its home is the showfield at Kilmory, Lochgilphead, where hundreds of exhibitors and a big crowd gather each August. Clydesdales, cattle, sheep, horses and ponies are all judged, and there is a display of vintage tractors, a pets section and terrier racing. Bring your dog along for the fun classes, which look for the waggiest tail, the best-dressed dog and the dog and handler who look most alike. Children have a climbing wall, trampolines, bouncy castles and roundabouts, and the trade stands range from clothing and toys to agricultural machinery. Anyone can join the society and put in entries of their own, so you can come to compete as well as to watch.
