East Kent Ploughing Match 2024


The East Kent Ploughing Match is held every year in September. 
I have always wanted to go to this event, and in 2024 I finally managed it!
My lovely son said he would come with me, so off we went to a farm near Canterbury. 


We had a quick look round and a much needed cup of coffee, then we spotted a Falconry display was about to start in the display ring. We found some seats and settled in to enjoy a lovely bird display.


Above and below just a few of the gorgeous birds.



A small part of some of the stalls on the site, showing some very black clouds, luckily it didn't rain while we were there.


Our first sight of the heavy horses ploughing, these are what I really wanted to see :)


Above and below, a great steam engine, lovely to see.



Back to the heavy horses, there were two teams ploughing. This pair just knew I needed to get some good photos :)


Arthur and Alfie :)


Such handsome horses.


There are two horses in the photo, but one is hidden. This is the other pair of horses ploughing but I was unable to get a good photo of them.

Sadly we only had the morning at the show, as my son had to go to work, but we both thoroughly enjoyed our visit,  and intend to go again this year :)
