Kent County Show returns for its 90th anniversary, and boasts lots of entertainment, displays and, of course, local food.
It is organised by the Kent County Agricultural Society and held on Friday, 5, Saturday, 6 and Sunday, July 7 between 8am and 6pm every day.
The famous show includes activities for the whole family to enjoy.
The event is a showcase for farming, countryside and rural life and the three day event brings together the very best of Kent with fun, food, animals and excitement, showing exactly what The Garden of England has to offer.
