The Yeovil Show is an agricultural show held at the Yeovil Showground, Yeovil, Somerset, England.

History

edit

The show was last held in 1966.[1][2]

The show made a comeback in the summer of 2016 after a break of 50 years.[3] The event was organised by the Yeovil Agricultural Society, and reopened during a weekend in July 2016. After running for three years, the show was cancelled in 2019 due to the sale of Aldon Park (now part of Yeovil Country Park).[4]
