Country Fairs

One of the dreams I had when living in town, was visiting the many country fairs that spring up at this time of year. It's just not feasable to pop down to one from London without quite a bit of planning, also you just don't get to know about them, unless invited by a friend, as many only advertise locally. You might get lucky from a mention in the Guardian days out guide, but it doesn't happen often. So to pop to one locally is a real treat, to sample some great local food and watch a dog show.

Unfortunately the Kilndown Bank Holiday Music Festival was a total washout this year, so I'm hoping the weather will hold out for these little gems.

For the past couple of years, Lamberhurst has run a country fair in aid of the Bonfire Society which kindly puts on a show for free in November. This is the first year we are able to attend, and I'm very excited!

I'm also keen to get a visit to the Wealden Times Midsummer Fair, which I've also missed each year up till now. It's actually next weekend, so I should get my tickets soon.

And the Goudhurst country fete looks lovely, especially as they do maypole dancing which is fantastic (a big fan as I used to do this at my primary, Maynards Green)

That's it for now, but there is also the Lamberhurst School fair at the end of June, and many more coming in July I'm sure, I'll keep you posted.
