SHEEP SHEARING AT THIS YEAR'S KENT COUNTY SHOW

In light of recent reports in some of the local and national newspapers  with regards to sheep shearing being cancelled at this year’s Kent County Show on the grounds of animal rights, the Kent Showground has issued a full statement that can be viewed here. The Kent Showground would like to re-iterate that these stories are completely untrue and have been sensationalised by the press.
