THE fourth heatwave of the UK summer bathed the 177th annual Dunster Show on Friday (August 15), ensuring bumper crowds visited for a unique opportunity to see the best of West Somerset farming and livestock.

The show’s entertainment line-up made for a fun day out for the whole family with a wide variety of trade stands and activities.

OG Performance Horses gave a captivating performance in the main ring, a sheepdog display replaced the ‘Dog and Duck Show’, and there was a parade of vintage tractors, a Punch and Judy show, and circus entertainers, while the show’s food hall proved as popular as ever with sample foods from local producers.

However, the show organisers decided against the traditional parade of cattle and sheep.
