Wigtown Show
Wednesday 4 August 2027 (to be confirmed)
Bladnoch Park, Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway(DG8 9AB)
Wigtown Show has been run by its agricultural society for more than two centuries, and it fills Bladnoch Park at Wigtown, in Dumfries and Galloway, with livestock, marquees and families. The judging takes in cattle from Belted Galloways to dairy and continental breeds, Clydesdales and heavy horse driving, sheep, goats and donkeys, plus showjumping. Young handlers have their own championship in the main ring, judged ahead of the Champion of Champions, and the prize-winners are paraded. Away from the rings, browse local handmade goods in the craft marquee, watch cookery and butchery demonstrations in the food marquee, admire the crooks and walking sticks, or enter your dog in the novelty classes on the day. Children have a marquee of their own with free activities.

Class entries are made online through the show's Entrymaster system; the premium list and entry forms are on the show's website.
