All you need to know about West Fife Show
West Fife Show is back next month, with organisers expecting thousands of people to attend one of Scotland's longest-running agricultural events.
It takes place at Easter Bucklyvie Farm, Crossgates, on Saturday June 7.
Now in its 257th year, the show is a mix of farming tradition, hands-on activities and rural entertainment.
Visitors can expect a wide variety of attractions, including the ever-popular livestock competitions featuring cattle, sheep, goats and horses.
Meanwhile, farming enthusiasts can also enjoy up-close access to tractors and machinery, thanks to support from regional dealerships and vintage exhibitors.
Adding to the day's buzz will be a packed entertainment programme, with everything from sheep shearing and milking demonstrations to a children's tractor zone and baby animal tent.
The much-loved dog show also returns, welcoming four-legged friends to compete in an afternoon of wagging tails and delighted spectators.
A craft marquee will spotlight local makers and producers, offering everything from handmade gifts to artisan foods.
Music, food trucks and bouncy castles promise plenty of other options for younger visitors and their families.
A spokesperson for West Fife Show said: 'The show has evolved across generations, but at its heart it remains a celebration of our agricultural roots.
'Whether you're a seasoned farmer or a family on a summer day out, there's something here for everyone.
'Events like ours thrive, thanks to dedicated volunteers and supportive partners.
'Having Cala Homes (East) on board once again makes a real difference to what we can offer.'
Housebuilder Cala is in its seventh consecutive year as a key sponsor of the show.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director, Cala Homes (East), said: 'Events like West Fife Show are vital in celebrating the vibrancy of rural Scotland. We're proud to continue our longstanding support.
'This show brings together everything that's special about country life – from livestock to local crafts, food to family fun – and it offers a great day out for all ages, while promoting pride in the local community.'
Cala's continued backing of West Fife Show complements its growing presence in the region, with recent investment and development in nearby Aberdour through the Inchcolm Green project.
Saturday June 7, 8.30am-5pm.
Easter Bucklyvie Farm, Crossgates, Fife.

Bearing in mind tit is held in a field, people must make their own assessment as to how easy it will be for them to navigate the area. There are no steep hills but, depending on the weather, the ground may be muddy in certain areas – which may make it less accessible for disabled visitors.
The show will go on. You just need to remember to bring your jacket and a pair of wellies. If it's been wet on the lead up to the show, then show organisers recommend wearing boots or old shoes as it could still be soggy underfoot even if it's dry on the day.

‘I NEED that bag!' fashion fans yell about Next's fruity new accessory as they praise store's ‘insane' summer collection
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.

Hayley was impressed as soon as she put it on, saying: "You know what I love about it on me. first of all I can fit my boobs in it. "I love the length of the sleeve that hides my wobbly arms. It has pockets." The mum said she wasn't usually a fan of pockets as it makes her hips look bigger, but didn't find it a problem with this dress. The dress was a success for both as her daughter gave it a thumbs up and it cost just £49.50. Next, the pair tried on a maxi red paisley dress, but it didn't impress them as much.
