So if you’re a visitor, start saving up your pennies and if you’re a trader looking to book in for the Greatest Show On Turf, head on over to our contacts page and get booked in to avoid missing out on a pitch.

Woodland Walk

The Woodland Trail is a short walk away from the Adventure Playground and provides a managed woodland environment for you to experience and enjoy the nature around you. 
Encompassing a 1km loop, walk along the trail and you will discover log pyramids, mushroom carvings, dead-headging, stumperies and a abundance of wildlife. A great way to stretch your
legs and blow out the cobwebs. 

Adventure Playground

All visitors to the show over the weekend will be able to take their little ones and slightly bigger ones, FREE OF CHARGE, in to the amazing Penshurst Place Adventure Playground. Featuring a commando trail, wooden high top, enormous slide, swings, a toddler area and a new zip line, your little ones will have the time of their life’s.
