Head to Holkham Country Fair on 20 and 21 July 2019

This July gather your family, friends and pooches and head to the north Norfolk coast for an action-packed day at Holkham Country Fair, taking place at Holkham Hall on 20th and 21st July 2019. For those looking to stay for the entire weekend, you can camp too!

The ethos of the Fair has always been to educate young people about the countryside and the importance of sustainability. This year the biennial Country Fair celebrates land, sea and sky – a message to encourage all to look at what is around us, look up to what is above us and out to what the sea holds.

Descending on the grounds of Holkham Hall by kind permission of the Earl and Countess of Leicester, the Country Fair will build a mini town which includes a Grand Ring, an abundance of showground events, a cookery demonstration theatre, trade stands, crafts, food and much more.

The Ground Ring is the central hub of the Country Fair with a number of show-stopping acts taking centre stage including Atkinson Action Horses (Saturday only) and The Household Cavalry Musical Ride (Sunday only).

Broke FMX will delight the crowds with the UK’s top freestyle motocross riders pulling aerobatic stunts 35 feet in the air on both days, and The City of Norwich Pipe Band will entertain visitors – even the children who can join in and march with them. Hounds, mounted games, birds of prey, aerobatics and historic cars complete the programme with the inter-hunt relay thrilling the morning crowds.

Across the Country Fair there is an abundance of activities to participate in, unleashing your inner child. Whizz down the zipwire, learn new skills at the clay pigeon shooting, archery, crossbows and catapults or watch Norfolk’s best-known chefs cook up culinary delights in the Norfolk Restaurant Week Cookery Theatre.

If this wasn’t enough, then you can shop until you drop in the trade stands and food village, watch traditional crafts and your four-legged friend can join in on the act with the gundog scurry and family dog show. For further information and tickets please visit the Holkham Country Fair website.
