win TICKETS TO THE kent

county show

The Kent County Show, held from 10th to 12th 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.
For one year only, the star attraction on Friday
10th July will be RAF Aerobatic Team, The Red
Arrows. As one of the world’s premier display
teams fly above the Kent Showground, the
exhilarating display of precision flying and agility
will give visitors the chance to witness the intricate
formations at close quarters.
Visitors can also watch and meet the
spectacular Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch
Activity Ride. Inch perfect timing, commitment,
professionalism and total trust are required as
horses jump through fire, a solid paper wall, and
complete fast crossovers.
The Kent County Show provides visitors
with a chance to see top-class competitive show
jumping. The equine classes include showing
classes, farrier demonstrations, heavy horse
turnouts and the fast-paced scurry driving
competitions. Our Country, Game and Canine
area will feature entertainment including birds of
prey, terrier racing, the Sheep Show and more.
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 Fur and
Feather tent run by the Kent Young Farmers
Clubs.
Experience the Flower Show complete with
flower displays, exhibition gardens, floral art
competitions, plant advice and the Kent Federation
of Horticultural Societies; and visit food tents with
over 100 stands ranging from local cheeses and
juices to the more international oils and liqueurs.
With the chance to meet Titan the Robot,
listen to the The Stow Caledonian Pipe Band and
see the Kent Spitfire flying overhead, the Kent
County Show really does have something for
everyone.
