Town and Country Show, Saturday 9th June 2007, 10.30am - 6pm and Sunday 10th June 2007, 10.30am - 5pm. The beauty, industry and animals of the countryside will be planting themselves firmly onto Parker's Piece for a weekend. So if you're in the business of harvesting fun, then this is the place to be!

Spanning Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June 2007 the Cambridge Town and Country Show has an activity list a country mile long, with most of it being absolutely free. There's One Man and His Dog-esque action with The Richard Savory Sheep Show and Sheepdog display. While the birds of prey event will most definitely prove to be a crowd pleaser. On top of that there's the intense, hilarious and slightly squeamish antics of Kondini, who is billed as the "Human Toolbox". Basically this guy will do things with a Black & Decker that aren't covered by the three year warranty.

There will be demonstrations of rural skills as well as a medieval story teller and a multi-tented historical re-enactment village. Plus the city centre will become one big mushy farm with pig and cattle demonstrations from the Countryside Restoration Trust and Burwash Manor Farm. Of course there will be a barn load of stalls, including arts and crafts as well as food and lifestyle marquees. But if that isn't enough, then there's a funfair (not free), steam engines, magic shows and Punch and Judy. It really is a day when the cream of the country crop comes to the city. |
