Truro Primestock Show brings farming to the city
Truro’s Annual Christmas Primestock Show is normally held in a marquee on Lemon Quay in the City Centre on the first Wednesday in December and is a favourite with farmers, country folk and townspeople alike. Like many shows we have to change and adapt in recent years, and for 2022 we are pleased to announce we have a “full show” again but for this year we will be up at Truro Cattle Market.
A very popular event which historically brings the countryside and farming right into the heart of the City and it is believed to be the only Primestock Show in Britain to be regularly held in the centre of a city, making the Truro Show a unique event.
Truro Primestock Show is part of a wide range of exciting seasonal events in and around Truro – for more details see https://www.visittruro.org.uk

The show has like all events, suffered from Covid cancellations. For the previous two years the show has been for cattle and sheep only, one of the only shows to continue. The show organisers now feel the time is right to once again coordinate a full show, and welcome members of the public to see the best Cornish farming can produce.![]()

Show President Armorel Carlyon said “This show allows exhibitors to show their fabulous cattle and sheep and give the opportunity to local butchers to purchase prize winning animals so their customers may purchase the best of Cornish beef and lamb in time for Christmas”.![]()

The show committee are in talks to bring the show back to Truro City Centre for 2023, but feel that a full show in 2022 at the Truro Cattle market is more of an exciting option than a partial show on Lemon Quay.![]()
