EVENTS THE KENT COUNTY SHOW 7th-9th JULY 2017 THE KENT COUNTY 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. Experience the multiple food halls, countryside area, flower show, show jumping, vintage vehicles and hundreds of cattle, sheep and goats. Meet Titan the Robot, Mr & Mrs Flora, the Mole Man and a new addition, the friendly dinosaurs. Watch the Shetland Pony Grand National, dancing sheep, birds of prey and pole climbing. If you prefer, sit back and listen to a variety of live music, judge the floral art competition, see the skill of the farriers or watch the Kent Spitfire flying overhead. Lucy Hegarty, show manager said: “It is important that all of our visitors have a wonderful day out. The best recipe for this is to have a large number of interesting, interactive displays where people can be very hands on. Whilst we know that the animals are a major part of the experience, we are also aware that education that is fun can be extremely powerful. All over the Showground there are pockets of amazing displays, demonstrations and activities where people can join in.” With a visit to the Kent County Show, the opportunities to be entertained are endless. www.kentshow.co.uk KENT COUNTY SHOW / 7TH, 8TH, 9TH JULY 2017 8AM – 6PM EVERY DAY / KENT SHOWGROUND, DETLING, MAIDSTONE, KENT ME14 3JF TICKET PRICES Save 10% on pre-Show tickets Pre- Show Prices On the Gate Adult £20.70 £23.00 Child (5-15)* £6.30 £7.00 Family (2 adults & 2 children) £45.00 £50.00 * Under 5’s go free.
