Cambridge 800 Town, Gown and Country Show, Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June 2009. Parker's Piece, Cambridge

Spanning the whole weekend, the Cambridge Town and Country Show packs out the centre of town with an activity list a country mile long, with most of it being absolutely free!

There's One Man and His Dog-esque action with a sheepdog display, a sheep show or what about a duck-herding demonstration? Alternatively, turn your eyes to the skies for a great display by birds of prey - that always proves to be a crowd pleaser.

There will be demonstrations of rural skills as well as a medieval story teller and a multi-tented historical re-enactment village with fighting knights. 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, bouncy castle, donkey rides, Suffolk Punch horses, magic shows and Punch and Judy.

It really is a day when the cream of the country crop comes to the city, and BBC Cambridgeshire will be joining in too! Listen out for us on 95.7 and 96 FM, 1026 MW, DAB and online.
