Drymen Show
Plan your visit to Drymen Show
In 1816 the Strathendrick Agricultural Society had an idea for an agricultural show. Little did they realise that the event would be going strong 200+ years later. The show takes place on the last Saturday in May each year and is the longest-running agricultural show in Scotland. It is also one of the most significant one-day rural events. The next show will be on Saturday, 25th May 2024.
Eight thousand people visit the show each year, a mix of locals and people who travel from all across Scotland. Beyond the many typical agricultural displays and competitions, there are many other attractions and exhibitors.
Book a trip to Loch Lomond & the Trossachs or beyond.
Drymen Show Location
Check the map above for the location of the Drymen Show. The event takes place in the show field just outside the village of Drymen, by Drymen Bridge on the A811. There is parking available, and you can also walk from the village, with a 10-minute walk using the pathway opposite the Buchanan Arms Hotel.
Here are some photographs of the Drymen Show we have captured over the last ten years, including the most recent show.

Family Entertainment at The Drymen Show
All local schools submit work from their pupils to be displayed in the school tent. Primary school children compete with their classmates to see which of their poems, stories or art will be entered for the themed competitions. Whilst the judges are busy choosing the winning entries, the children can usually be found at the fairground rides, football tournaments or very popular pet tent.
See Vintage Tractors at Drymen Show
With such a rich heritage the show also features agricultural equipment from years gone by, with vintage tractors and other classic items.
