There’s something special about a country show. The hum of tractors, the bustle of trade stands and the community spirit that brings together farmers, families and local businesses. Here in Devon and Somerset, we’re lucky to have some of the best agricultural shows in the country – and at Devon & Somerset Marquees, we’re proud to play our part in making them happen.
A busy season of shows and marquees
This summer, our team has been busy criss-crossing the region, erecting marquees for some of the most beloved events in the West Country calendar. From the prestigious Devon County Show to the charming village atmosphere of Exford Show, and from the bustle of the Mid Devon Show to the delights of Dunster Show, Honiton Show, and the Somerset Show – our marquees have been there, providing essential cover for exhibitors and visitors alike.
Building exhibitors’ profiles with marquees of many types
This year we’ve been proud to supply marquees for a fantastic range of businesses at shows across the region, including but certainly not limited to these regular exhibitors:
- Heard and Sendell
- Brays Accountants
- Mitchells
- James Pryce Tractors
- Watermans
- Mason Kings
- Withers Steele
From compact 3m x 3m trade stands to larger bespoke structures, our marquees have kept products protected, staff comfortable, and customers browsing – whatever the weather decided to throw at us.
Made for business - more than just a tent
With over 30 years’ experience supplying marquees to fairs and shows, we know that every exhibitor’s needs are different. That’s why we offer:
- A wide range of sizes and styles – from intimate 9sqm stands right up to vast 16,000sqm show tents.
- Interior accessories – including tables, chairs, matting, lighting and more from our well-stocked furniture barn.
- Generator and toilet hire – so you have everything you need in one place
- Expert weather management – helping you handle mud, shade, and cold to keep visitors happy.
- Complete event support – our events manager can advise on everything from visitor safety to customer flow.
We don’t just drop off a marquee and leave you to it. We’re here to help make your show a success.
Book early for 2027
As we pack away the last of this summer’s marquees, our thoughts are already turning to next year’s show season. And here’s our advice: book early.
The most popular shows fill up fast, and so does our diary. If you’re planning to exhibit at any of the region’s county shows, agricultural fairs or local events in 2027, now is the time to get in touch and secure your marquee.
Whether you’re a seasoned exhibitor or thinking about taking a stand for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.
