Organisers are expecting a big turnout as a Cornish agricultural show returns.

The 2024 Liskeard Show takes place in Merrymeet, with doors open for the one-day event from 09:00-17:00 BST.

Events at the show include a vintage tractor parade and competitions for sheep, poultry, cattle, horses, flowers and vegetables.

The team running the show said they have had a record number of entries in the sheep competition and anticipate a well-attended event.

Beckie Breyley, general secretary of the show, said: "We are all looking forward to a fabulous show.

"We have record entries in the sheep section and hundreds of trade stands on the show field and within the marquees."

Other events that have been organised include bubble football, classic car displays, chainsaw wood carving and a fun fair.
