About Countryshows
Our Mission
At CountryShows.com, we’re not just listing events — we’re proudly championing the heart of rural life.
From age‑old farming traditions to vibrant local shows, our mission is simple: to connect people with the very best country shows, county shows, agricultural shows, and countryside events across the UK, Ireland, and the Channel Islands.
Every show matters. Every community matters. And we’re here to make sure they’re seen, supported, and celebrated.
CountryShows.com is the No. 1 independent free website for country, farming, and countryside show listings across the UK, Ireland, and the Channel Islands.
We do this by:
- Featuring events of every size — from major county showcases to hidden village gems, we shine a spotlight on them all.
- Keeping it completely free — listing your event, or enhancing it, costs nothing. Community should never come with a price tag.
- Sharing live updates on show days — when your event is happening, we post across our platforms to confirm it’s on, helping boost turnout and excitement in real time.
- Being part of the community ourselves — we don’t just sit behind a screen. We attend shows, experience them, and share the day’s highlights through our social media.

Through the Lens of CountryShows.com
📸 Alongside building the UK, Ireland, and the Channel Islands. most comprehensive country show directory,
we’ve had the privilege of photographing some of the nation’s most iconic rural events.
From the grandeur of the Royal Show and the energy of Countryfile Live, to the charm of the Henley Show, Moreton Show, and Nottinghamshire County Show, our lens has travelled across the fields of the Three Counties Show and the New Forest Show alike.
These snapshots celebrate not just the events themselves, but the communities, traditions,
and countryside spirit that inspire everything we do.
🌟 Community Spotlight
Behind every country show and rural tradition are people whose dedication keeps the countryside alive. Community Spotlight exists to tell their stories — the charities offering support, the organisations preserving heritage, the volunteers who give their time, and the communities who come together year after year.
Through these features, we celebrate the resilience, generosity, and shared passion that define rural life across the UK, Ireland, and the Channel Islands. It’s a space that honours the past, recognises the present, and shines a light on the people shaping the countryside’s future.

A Note from Our Founder
“CountryShows.com began in 2009 as a simple idea—sharing country show updates on Twitter.
What started as a personal passion grew into a mission to celebrate countryside events and the communities behind them.
Now in 2025, it’s expanded into a dedicated website—giving every show, from country shows to farm gatherings, the visibility and support they deserve.” — David, Founder of CountryShows.com
