RSVP / OUT & ABOUT 029 KENT COUNTY SHOW
Despite the serious accident that closed the M20 London-bound on the first day of the Kent County Show, organisers are delighted to report that 80,000 people attended the 2017 annual event. Headlining the entertainment this year was The Shetland Pony Grand National which captivated the crowds in the main ring, seeing youngsters take part in a high speed dash on their pint-size Shetland ponies, with spectators able to cheer on their favourite horse and jockey during the two-and-a-half laps of the ring.
Elsewhere on the Showground the new Garden Life marquee proved very popular with visitors able to see Kent Beekeepers, Kent Federation of Horticultural Societies, Flower Show exhibitors, floral art competitions and the Garden Cafe in one large marquee. The T-Rex Show, Titan the Robot, Punch and Judy and Mr & Mrs Flora captivated audiences whenever they performed as did the ever-popular Sheep Show, Dog and Duck Display and Birds of Prey. The BBC Radio Kent World Record Salsa Dance Lesson attempt on Saturday was not successful, but everyone that joined Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard had a wonderful time.
• The 2018 show will take place on 6th, 7th and 8th July. Visit
