Kent County Show attracts thousands of visitors

Crowds have descended on the Kent Showground this weekend for the ever popular county show, with queues building along Detling Hill.

While the show has changed a lot over the years and now features a range of products and vehicles for sale its agricultural roots are still clear to see as you navigate the site.

The impressive livestock which have become a staple of the three-day event are complimented by spectacular displays, both on four legs and two wheels, with scurry racing and the motorcycle display team proving particularly popular.
