Kent Game and Country Fair at Hole Park, Rolvenden plus Kent County Show news

08:00, 22 June 2016

Two days devoted to all things rural will be held at Hole Park in Rolvenden this weekend. The Kent Game and Country Fair has three action-packed arenas with displays, demonstrations and stunts throughout both days.

Ever seen horseboarding? Literally like skateboarding while being towed by a horse, the Horse Boarding UK Championship will be one of the highlights, along with sheepdog displays and British Scurry and Trails Driving Arena Challenge.

All things canine-related fill one of the arenas, as Our World of Dogs brings hounds, obedience displays and lurcher racing to the show.
