The Kenilworth Show 2026, will once again showcase the best of agriculture, equestrian sport and rural life in Warwickshire. This popular one-day agricultural show features a full programme of main ring attractions, livestock and equine competitions, trade stands, local produce, and family entertainment.
Proudly supported by volunteers, members and the wider community, the Kenilworth Show continues to celebrate farming, food and countryside traditions while offering an enjoyable day out for all ages.
What's On
MAIN RING ATTRACTIONS
The Main Ring promises a full day of exciting entertainment in 2026.
We’re thrilled to welcome back the incredible Kangaroo Kid, bringing his jaw-dropping stunts and high-energy performance to the ring — always a real crowd favourite.
We’ll also be joined by Hook Norton Brewery, with their magnificent horse and traditional dray — a wonderful sight and a real nod to heritage.
Enjoy plenty of action from the ever-popular Dog and Duck Show, guaranteed to entertain all ages. Then at lunchtime, grab a bite to eat and take a seat as Warwickshire Young Farmers go head-to-head with the mighty Coventry Rugby Club in a tug-of-war competition — one not to be missed!
There’s more to enjoy throughout the day, including displays from the Original British Scurry and Trials Driving, plus a vintage machinery parade which, if last year is anything to go by, will be nothing short of spectacular.
And for many, the highlight of the day — the much-loved livestock parade — a fantastic showcase of the very best of our agricultural community.
