Widecombe Fair Show Field

Widecombe Fair Show Field is the home of one of Dartmoor's most enduring traditions. For over a century, this open space on the edge of the village has hosted the annual fair, drawing farmers, craftspeople, and visitors to celebrate the moor's agricultural heritage and rural character.

The showfield embodies the working landscape that defines Dartmoor, a place where farming practices, local crafts, and community bonds remain central to moorland life. Visiting during the fair itself offers insight into how Dartmoor communities have sustained their traditions, while the field itself, set against the open moor, captures the character of this distinctive corner of Devon.
