Our South West region was delighted to be a main sponsor of the North Devon Show, a leading agricultural show in the South West, for the second year running earlier this month.  

Ryan Watt and Samantha Lillington from the South West office joined 18,000 visitors for a fantastic 60th anniversary celebration, showcasing the county’s community, businesses, agriculture and rural heritage. 

Held beneath glorious summer sunshine, the one-day event brought people together for a fun-packed day with food, music, competitions and entertainment for all ages. It also featured traditional rural displays and livestock so there was plenty to see and enjoy throughout the day.

As part of its involvement, the Wain Homes team had the enjoyable task of judging the trade stands, recognising the creativity, presentation and effort that exhibitors had put into showcasing their organisations.

After carefully considering the impressive range of stands, Ryan and Samatha awarded the rosette for Best Trade Stand to Blue Elephant Childcare. Their stand stood out for its engaging presentation and the enthusiasm with which the team represented their childcare services.

Hannah Blackbourn, sales director for Wain Homes South West said: “As a housebuilder with strong roots in the South West, we were proud to play our part in supporting such an important event in the local calendar, especially in its 60thyear. Supporting the North Devon Show is about more than being a sponsor. It is an opportunity to connect with the communities where we build new homes, celebrate local achievements and help support events that bring people together.

“With thousands of visitors enjoying the sunshine and the very best of North Devon on display, this year’s 60th show was a fantastic success, and Wain Homes was proud to be part of it.”

Theresa Soanes, show secretary for the North Devon Show added: “We were very pleased to have Wain Homes sponsor the event again this year. The much-needed funding from our sponsors ensures this fantastic annual event, enjoyed by so many, can take place each year. We are very grateful for their valuable support.”
