Yellow parking - Honiton Show

The Honiton Show car park might sound like the least glamorous thing to write about, but hear me out - this is where locals actually gather during the annual Honiton Show, a proper county event that draws crowds from across Devon. The yellow parking area itself isn't much to look at when nothing's on, but during show season it transforms into the beating heart of the action, packed with vehicles and the buzz of people heading in to see livestock competitions, local crafts, and food stalls. It's the kind of event that feels genuinely rooted in farming life, not some tourist trap. If you're staying nearby - Hartridge Springs Spa Glamping sits just five miles away - it's worth timing a visit to coincide with the show. Families with kids will enjoy the animals and rural atmosphere, though it's worth knowing the show only runs for specific days each year, so plan accordingly. The closest town is Sidmouth, a proper seaside resort where you can grab lunch before or after. The parking itself won't thrill you, obviously, but the event it serves reflects real Devon life - and that's worth experiencing if you're in the area anyway. Check the dates well in advance though, as it's not a year-round attraction. Better still, ask at your glamping site what else is happening locally during your stay.
