This is one of the best ag shows in the south. I went on the Friday to avoid engineering work and the worse of the storms. Friday is traditionally the least busy day of the show, plenty of school groups there etc. A lot was going on. Food area was better than previous years. Craft and stall areas very good as well. Army area was getting a lot of positive attention. The pigs, as always, were the stars of the show.

Went there for the Bromley Pageant of motoring the show was fine but the management of traffic onto the event was a nightmare for exhibitors.. They only had one gate open and all the local roads were gridlocked it took me over an hour queuing to get in and getting out wasn't great. I am surprised how poorly managed this was. All tickets were prepaid exhibitors so they knew how many cars were coming. With the deliin getting exhibitors in this had a knock on effect of the public I am aware of several members of the public who gave up getting in.. !😡
