Devon County Show and Jack Nowell
Devoncast
Saturday, 20 May 2023 - 16 minutes
We head to the 127th edition of the Devon County Show on this week's Devoncast.
Tens of thousands of people are heading to Westpoint near Exeter for the annual event, which started in its traditional third Thursday of May for the first time since 2019.
We speak to show president the Hon. John Rous and the Bishop of Exeter Robert Atwell on why they love the county show, and hear from some of those running stalls - including local charity Hospiscare.
Plus, in a must-listen for rugby fans, outgoing Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell drops by ahead of his move overseas, more than a decade after he first pulled on a Chiefs' shirt.
He tells us about the reasons behind his departure and the events taking place this summer to mark his testimonial year.
