Agrifest South West 2026: Livestock Excellence and the Return of the West Country Food Village

Agrifest South West returns to Westpoint Arena, Exeter on Wednesday 4th November 2026, building on the strong momentum of last year’s event. In 2025, Agrifest showcased more than 180 cattle and 75 pairs of sheep, with visitors able to witness the highest quality livestock taking part in a line-up of hotly contested competitions. 

Following its hugely successful debut, the West Country Food Village will be back for its second year. In 2025, it proved to be a real favourite with visitors, adding extra flavour to the offering with artisan produce, festive gifts and a vibrant celebration of regional food and drink. Its return promises an even broader range of local makers and growers.

Agrifest 2026 will also see pigs, with full competitive classes introduced for the first time—a further exciting development to this now well-established annual event.

And last but by no means least, the Steak, Burger & Sausage Competitions will see beef, sheep pig and even goat farmers battle it out to find out who is producing the most delicious end product for the discerning Devon public.  

Deborah Custance Baker, Chair of Agrifest South West, said: “Agrifest is not just a showcase of exceptional livestock; it’s a much‑loved social occasion for our farming community. Coming together in the winter months matters, and this event gives farmers the chance to reconnect, catch up and support one another.”

Agrifest is free to attend, welcoming everyone from farming families, food lovers and anyone who would like to see the best of British stock.
