The main emphasis of the 2010 Show will be on Farming and Agriculture and the interactive ‘Why Farming Matters’ will move opposite the Main Gate to allow visitors to ‘learn something new’ about farming, the countryside and where food comes from.

The Kent Young Farmers area will be extended for 2010 and will include a more prominently placed ring on the roadside to allow for expansion of this professional display of livestock and small animals that helps encourage young people into the farming industry. This really is worth a visit whatever age you are and the Society is proud of the fact that this is the largest gathering of young people and animals in Europe.

The Countryside Area will be extended and moved to allow even better viewing of interactive displays, hound pens, gundogs, birds of prey and terrier racing.

There will be a new public lawn opposite the Show Office as well as a number of wider entrances to viewing areas around the Astor Ring. This Ring will now host all the major ring attractions including the Grand Parade of Livestock, top show jumping classes and for 2010, a display by the White Helmets Motorcycle Display Team.
