kent county show!

The Kent County Show, held on 11th, 12th, and 13th July at the Kent
Showground, Maidstone is the region's showcase event for farming,
countryside and rural life. The three-day show brings together the very
best of Kent with animals, food, fun and excitement giving a true feel
of what The Garden of England has to offer.
We are proud to announce that the Husqvarna
25m UK Pole Climbing Championships will be
held at this year’s Kent County Show. Watch
experts and novices race up these impressive
trees with some climbers taking just 10 seconds
to reach the top.
Experience the newly enlarged Flower Show
complete with flower displays, exhibition gardens,
floral art competitions, plant advice and the Kent
Federation of Horticultural Societies. Visit our
Food Tents with over 100 stands ranging from
local cheeses and juices to the more exotic
mangos and bush grub.
Visitors can view over 800 prize-winning
cattle, sheep, goats and pigs in our Agricultural
area. Learn more about wool with the Kent Guild
of Spinners, Dyers and Weavers, watch the sheep
shearing demonstration and visit the new Fur
and Feather tent run by the Kent Young Farmers
Clubs.
The Show also provides visitors with a
chance to see top-class competitive show
jumping. Our equine classes include showing
classes, farrier demonstrations, heavy horse
