The show occurs over three days – Thursday, Friday and Saturday – with the busiest day being Saturday. The show has many features, including hundreds of trade stalls selling and advertising products and services. There are also lots of competitions where people enter animals like cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and even guinea pigs and rabbits, as well as flowers and food. Throughout the site there is entertainment, including displays of Cornish dance and a fairground.
