The Devon County Show 2024 gets going today (Thursday 16 May), and runs until Saturday.

The event is massively popular, bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the county - so inevitably there's a warning of increased traffic.

The M5 northbound is expected to be particularly busy between junctions 31 and 30.

Tractors, animals, music, food, dog shows, funfairs and crafts are just some of the things spectators can enjoy at the three-day event.

The headline act across all three days will be Ben Atkinson and his troupe of Atkinson Action Horses.

People can also enjoy some shopping, as well as all things associated with country life in Devon.

On Thursday, there is the Atkinson Action Horses Display, HEL Performance Show Jumping and Vapormatic Vintage Tractors.

Friday will see Show Jumping and Parade of Hounds.

Finally, on Sunday Pony Club games, as well as The City of Exeter Band and Pipers.
