Want to be part of something big?
 

In 2026, Girlguiding Devon will once again be a part of the Devon County Show — bringing together communities, creativity, and adventure in one of our county’s most spectacular events. Be more than a spectator — join us in making this show one to remember.

The Devon County Show is one of the biggest and best-loved events in the South West, and in 2026 Girlguiding Devon will be right at the heart of it. With thousands of visitors expected across three action-packed days, it’s your chance to help us showcase the fun, friendship and adventure that guiding offers.

From welcoming families to our stand, to running activities and supporting behind the scenes, there’s a role for everyone. Whether you step up as a leader, sign up as a messenger, or volunteer in another way, you’ll be part of a team creating an inspiring, hands-on experience for visitors — and making Girlguiding’s presence at the show bigger and better than ever.
