95th Kent County Show Sees Visitors Flock To The Kent Showground in Detling

Taking place across the 3^rd, 4^th & 5^th July 2026, this year’s Kent County Show saw approximately 65,000 people flock to the Kent Showground in Detling to celebrate the best of Kent!

Organised by registered charity, the Kent County Agricultural Society, the Show offers visitors the opportunity to explore food and farming in Kent, enjoy spectacular entertainment in the Show rings, shop with local businesses and create memories to last a lifetime with loved ones.

Chairman of the Kent County Agricultural Society, Matthew Cullen, said “There has been a fantastic atmosphere across the Showground at this year’s Kent County Show! We’ve been really lucky to have the weather on our side which has brought visitors out in droves and has encouraged a true festival feel for all 3 days.

We are particularly proud to have seen strong entry numbers and a fantastic quality of livestock on site across sheep, cattle and goats this weekend!”

He added: “Putting on a Show on this scale requires an enormous team effort, and, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend our thanks to all of the hundreds of volunteers, Showground staff, contractors and exhibitors who help us to continue putting on the Kent County Show each year!”

The Kent County Show will return for it’s 96^th Show in July 2027, with dates to be confirmed this Summer! In the meantime, the Kent County Agricultural Society team are preparing for their last Society event of 2026, Biddenden Tractorfest, which will take place on Saturday 15^th & Sunday 16^th August 2026 at Holden Farm in Biddenden. Advance tickets for Biddenden Tractorfest are on sale now and pre-booking is essential!
