One of Cornwall's family favourite agricultural shows returned today - and it was on one of the hottest days of the year so far.

Stithians Show last took place in 2019, but was forced to be cancelled due to the Covid pandemic arriving in 2020.

The event showcases some of the county's best homemade produce, from jams to alcohol, clothes to even a homemade pen stall.

On entering the showground, there were displays from some of Cornwall's best horse show jumpers.

Farmers around the Duchy and Devon brought their prize-winning cattle with them, as well as sheep, goats, pigs, and also some rare breeds.

There were also prizes for caged birds, guinea pigs, and dogs.

As part of the usual tradition, a march took palce where the president of Stithians Show, officially opened the show and hoisted the Sithians Agricultural Association flag, the Union Flag, and the St Piran flag.

On one of the hottest days of the year so far, guests were treated to displays from The Gun Dogs and birds from Feadon Farm Falconry in the Exhibition Ring. Unfortunately due to the bad traffic, the Cornish Wrestling Team were delayed, so guests had to wait slightly longer to see them.
