Wednesday 9th May 2012

The Living Land is a FREE, one day event offered to Kent school children in years 3 and 4 aimed at educating young children in the areas of farming,agriculture, countryside and healthy eating within the beautiful landscape of the Kent Showground, home to the Kent County Show. This year’s event takes place on Wednesday 9th  May.

The Living Land is a well established event, now in its 9th year and is hugely popular. The timetable of activities includes the opportunity to see and touch farm animals, taste local produce, see dancing sheep at the “Sheep Show”, Birds of Prey and many other displays and demonstrations. Most of the activities are interactive, with a wealth of organisations on hand to share their knowledge with the children and can easily be linked to the school curriculum.

The educational experience is invaluable and taking pupils away from the normal classroom environment, enhances the ability to learn.

The event is free to schools, although we are unable to cover the cost of your coach and travel expenses.

All we ask is that you are able to arrive at the Showground by 9.15am and provide your own refreshments.

This is a very popular event and places are limited to 3000 children, so please book as soon as possible as bookings will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. If you would like more information, please contact the Showground. 01622 630975.

Please note this is not a public event.
