The annual Fenland Country Fair promises superb, traditional rural entertainment at Stow-cum Quy Park over the August Bank Holiday weekend. For over 30 years, this popular country fair has attracted crowds that regularly swell over 20,000 to this beautiful part of South Cambridgeshire for two days of country fun and rural pastimes.
Show organiser, Malcolm Hall, explained why people return to the Fenland Country Fair time and again: “The Fenland is one of the few remaining ‘real’ country fairs and retains much of its traditional charm. We have added some new attractions to the familiar format which so many families enjoy, and welcome back the ever-popular South East Falconry Display team who have laid on some fantastic, often spontaneous demonstrations for us over the years.”
With free admission for children under 11, there are plenty of activities to keep young people entertained – little girls are sure to enjoy riding the Steam Gallopers while the boys can have a go at archery or watch the Vintage Parade. Canine lovers are welcome to bring dogs on leads and there is an array of attractions for fans of mans’ best friend, including a parade of hounds, terrier racing and a gun dog demonstration.
Entries for terrier racing, gun dogs and ferret racing will be taken on the day.
Visitor entry is £8.50 on the gate for adults, children under 11 go free.
Stow cum Quy Park is clearly signposted off the A14, 6 miles from Cambridge
and there is ample free parking. Gates open 9am-5.30pm on Sunday 29th and
Monday 30th August.
