Monster trucks, stunt horses, and headline music will roar into action at this year’s Dorset County Show.
Taking place near Dorchester on September 5 and September 6, the show promises two days of entertainment, agricultural displays, family activities, and food from across the region.
James Cox, organiser, said: "The County Show comes to life with 12 months of hard work from more than 200 volunteers carefully curating each element of the show.
"From the Horticulture Marquee, bursting to the roof with stunning flowers and huge vegetables, to the crazy speed of the sheep shearing competitions, the show offers visitors a packed day out, as well as giving farmers the opportunity to browse the latest machinery and technology."

Monster truck fans will be treated to a car-crushing display from Big Pete and the Grim Reaper, with 7.5 tonnes of roaring metal taking centre stage in the Main Ring.
Equestrian entertainment will come from the OG Display Horses, featuring five stunt horses performing riding displays, liberty work, and demonstrations of horsemanship.
At the heart of the show is the Livestock Area, housed under enough tenting to fill nearly five Olympic swimming pools.
Visitors can meet goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, and alpacas up close, watch judging, and see which animals take home the top prizes.
Exhibitors will be on hand to chat about the animals and the work that goes into raising them.
Younger visitors can enjoy hands-on activities and a chance to learn about food and farming, with plenty to see and do across the showground.
Mr Cox said: "What makes the County Show special is that all of those things sit side by side.
"It remains a genuine agricultural show, but whether you come for the livestock, the Main Ring, the food, the shopping or simply a great family day out, there is always something else to discover."
The music area will be buzzing throughout the weekend, with West Country favourites The Wurzels headlining on Saturday.
The entertainment continues across the site, including the bandstand in the Food and Drink Area.
Food lovers can explore two food halls—the Dorset Food Hall and the General Food Hall—packed with local producers and regional treats.
Beyond the main attractions, the show will offer horticulture displays, rural skills demonstrations, competitions, shopping, and the latest in agricultural machinery and technology.
Discounted advance tickets are available until Friday, September 4.
