Westpoint's arena and showground was built on the former Ivington Farm to host the annual Devon County Show each May.

The farm was purchased by the Devon County Agricultural Association, with work on the site estimated to have cost a further sum in excess of £3 million.

The 4,590 sq metre column-free main arena doubles as an exhibition area and, for the County Show, a cattle shed.
