Listed below are a few of the many interesting sights you will see at the Show.

Cattle at the Show
Come and see the many breeds of cattle on show in the Cornwallis Building. Spot the prize Charolais bulls. Have you ever been so close to such huge cattle? See the small stocky Dexters, the perfect house cow. You can also visit Kent Young Farmers with their marquees filled with baby animals.  Do not miss the Grand Parade of  Livestock with all varieties on show.

Rabbit Show
Lots of furry pets on display. Some small, some large, some smooth and some longhaired!

Sheep at the Show
All British breeds on display together with some of our continental friends. Spot the ‘teddy bear’ faces of the Southdown breed. Don't forget : ... Sheep Shearing.

Pigs & Goats
Visit both the Pig and Goat areas to see the Sow and her Piglets on the Princess Christians Farm stand.

Horses & Ponies
Just what show would be complete without the extensive range of showing and jumping classes put on throughout the three days. Everything from Heavy Horses to the tiny Miniature Horses, excitement of show jumping and sheer skill and agility of the Pony Club Teams competing fiercely on the Sunday for the coveted winner’s crown.

Llamas
Come and see the llamas and speak to their owners about them.

Visit the South of England Rare Breeds Centre, PRINCESS CHRISTIANS FARM and RARE BREEDS SURVIVAL TRUST areas to see a fascinating collection of rare breed farm animals.

The main arena will be packed with exciting activities on all three days, see your programme for timings. The FALCONRY DISPLAY always generates great interest.  Just think of the hours and hours of trust built up between man and his bird of prey. Visit the FORESTRY area and learn about wildlife and conservation of our countryside. Keep your eyes peeled and spot the owls and bats! Also, watch with interest how the forester carves animals and people out of a block of wood with a chainsaw. Watch the working prison dogs ­ but stand still or you may be next!

Phew! Simply loads to do and see. If you are so busy wandering around and forget where you left your Mum/Dad or Teacher, remember the MEETING POINT for lost grown ups.
