MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Dunster Show last Friday to enjoy a day of non-stop action.
The show, now in its 170th year, offered everything from exciting main ring events and displays to livestock judging and traditional craft demonstrations.
There were also bands, food hall, stands and many other attractions.
“It all went extremely well,” said Dunster Show chairman Roger Richmond.
“We were very pleased, and we were very lucky with the weather which cleared up for the afternoon, when the holidaymakers come in.
“The quality of the cattle, horse and sheep entries was amazing. It was a lovely sight seeing them in the ring,” he said.
The show, held on Dunster Castle Lawns, also saw ten bursaries of £1,000 a year awarded to young people to help with further education or training related to agriculture.
Top events in the main ring included a Cossack riding display by the famous Devil’s Horsemen, as well as dog and falconry displays, plus a parade of prizewinners.
Livestock were put through their paces as judging took place for 600 horses, 200 cattle and 550 sheep.
And, around the showground, visitors enjoyed all kinds of activities including vintage farm machinery, displays of old crafts such as thatching and a blacksmith, music from jazz to pipes and drums, food stalls plus hundreds of trade stands.
