Since 1821, an annual Show has been held in Fife to encourage and showcase the breeding of livestock. Today, The Fife Show is held annually, on the second last Saturday of May, just outside Cupar, and is one of the most popular one day agricultural shows in the country.
Thousands of visitors come to see livestock and machinery, both vintage and modern, at close quarters. While retaining the feel of a traditional agricultural event, the Show has extended its activities into the realms of wider environment and related countryside issues with the introduction of a Game Fair area. Main ring entertainment, as well as the Food & Drink sections, alongside trade stands and amusements for the children ensure that the Show provides a great day out for all ages.
Join FAS on Tuesday 21st May to hear from SRUC vet, Helen Carty discussing the Preparing for Sustainable Farming animal health and welfare options for cattle. The options available provide the opportunity to test and prevent diseases within your herd, improving the health of your cattle will improve their overall performance. Under the PSF scheme, there are four interventions for cattle which Helen will discuss to allow you to determine which two interventions are most important for your business to investigate further in 2024.
In 2001, World Milk Day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations to recognize the importance of milk as a global food, and to celebrate the dairy sector. Each year since, the benefits of milk and dairy products have been actively promoted around the world, including how dairy supports the livelihoods of one billion people.
In 2023, World Milk Day showcased how dairy is reducing its environmental footprint, while also providing nutritious foods and livelihoods. Together, we drove an active narrative that integrates the environmental, nutritional and societal impacts of the sector.
Catch up on the activities on our social media channels and use our hashtags #WorldMilkDay & #EnjoyDairy.

West Fife Show is one of the oldest agricultural shows in Scotland, dating back more than 250 years!
Obviously much has changed in that time but our agricultural roots remain strong and we hope that our audience of today appreciates this. There is so much to see and do at our show that, no matter the weather, there is guaranteed fun for all the family!
One of the best parts of the Show is the livestock competitions. Whether it be cattle, sheep, goats, heavy horses or light horses, there is something different to see throughout the day.
For those who prefer 4 wheels rather than 4 legs, we also have fantastic support from many local machinery dealerships who bring along various tractors and equipment as well as attendance from many vintage tractor exhibitors.
If it’s crafts you’re after, then the craft marquee is the place for you. Here you’ll find lots of local vendors showing off their many wares.
For the kids, a stop at the baby animal tent is a must! This tent gives you the chance to get up close to lots of animals as well as joining in with some hands-on activities before heading off for a drive in the kids tractor area.
And, of course, we can’t forget about the dogs! You’re more than welcome to bring along your dog to the show and you can even take part in our Dog Show!
We also have lots of other activities and entertainments including tug-of-war, music, food, drink, bouncy castles, sheep shearing and milking demonstrations. Check our gallery for pictures of our past shows!
So, grab your sun cream if it’s a scorcher or your wellies if it’s raining and get yourself along and join us!

Get it✍️in your diaries so as not to miss the UK's leading agricultural business event.
AgriScot has changed its date, bringing the event forward by one week to 13 November.

The relationship is one of collaboration to ensure that AgriScot remains preeminent in the agricultural calendar. To do that working together is pivotal, and this year means a change of date for AgriScot to allow RHASS to support other events at the Centre.
