The East Kent Ploughing Match will be held on 25th September at West Court Farm, Shepherdswell, CT15 5PZ.

Established for over 70 years in East Kent this popular annual event attracts between 3,000 and 4,500 people each year from the agricultural community as well as all walks of life. The event not only draws tough competition between modern, old and horse drawn ploughs, but is a fantastic outing and educational opportunity.
Canterbury Beekeepers partners with other local associations to run a beekeeping stall, where we sell honey and talk about bees. The enthusiast can enter honey (set or runny) into the Women’s section show. Note that the closing date for entries is 23rd August. For more details, please see the schedule:
