Royal Cornwall Show

Saturday 10th June

£42.00pp Adults/  Child £23.50pp  Including entry

EXPECT ROYALS, CELEBS, FARM ANIMALS AND MORE AT THE ROYAL CORNWALL SHOW 2023 BETWEEN 8 AND 10 JUNE

Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cornwall made an official visit to the Royal Cornwall Show 2022, a hugely anticipated event that had been cancelled for the previous two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  A total of 120,671 people went along in what was the show’s highest attendance in seven years.

But, to be perfectly honest, we preferred hanging out with the real celebs: the farm animals. And there were so many magnificent beasts to meet. This agricultural festival at the Royal County Showground just outside Wadebridge, its home since 1960, is the king of all the Duchy’s shows every year. And that will be no different in 2023. The Royal Cornwall Show 2023, which is held between 8 and 10 June, could welcome more than 150,000 guests alongside any royals and celebs to an action-packed schedule of exhibitors, events, sellers and competitions. And, again, those farm animals are the real highlights that we always make sure we see.

Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative rhythms of Africa, Disney’s multi award-winning musical is a unique theatrical experience that you will remember forever. At its heart is the powerful story of Simba and his epic adventure to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.

The show makes a triumphant return, having already played two sell out seasons at the Bristol Hippodrome. The cast of over 50 actors, singers and dancers are thrilled to return to the Hippodrome stage for this strictly limited run which is set to excite new and returning audiences alike.

The story of The Lion King roars into life using spectacular masks, puppets, and costumes to tell the story of Simba’s epic adventures, as he struggles with the responsibilities of adulthood and becoming king.

Having played in more than 100 cities in 20 countries on every continent except Antarctica, The Lion King’s worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or other entertainment title in box office history. The landmark musical, which has now been seen by over 100 million people worldwide, last visited Bristol Hippodrome in 2019.

Rosemoor Garden RHS

Tuesday 20th June

£17.00pp RHS Member / £27.35 non-member

Welcome to RHS Garden Rosemoor. Our Devon garden is rich in horticultural heritage and could be said to have two faces: one designed more recently by the RHS and the other created over time.

As a visitor, you will experience the newest areas first, beginning with the multi-faceted Formal Garden and then the Stream Field and Lake to the north. These in turn lead toward the South West and Devon Orchards and the very popular Fruit and Vegetable Garden. Walking through the Underpass you discover the contrasting original garden of Lady Anne Berry, which consists of many garden ‘rooms’ that blend seamlessly into one.

During June

Enjoy the sight and scent of thousands of roses in flower at RHS Garden Rosemoor’s four-week-long Festival of Roses – a breathtaking showcase of the beauty and diversity of this favourite flower.

Boasting one of the UK’s largest collections of roses, Rosemoor is home to two dedicated Rose Gardens with more than 200 different varieties and more than 2,000 roses. From cottage garden climbers to bright and beautiful container roses, there is a rose to inspire and suit all gardens.
