Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show
A Surrey and Kent border show that runs across August Bank Holiday weekend with genuine character: horses, cattle, show jumping, and the Weald at its most golden.
A genuine small Kentish market town with an unusually rich medieval streetscape, a fine Norman church, and working markets that give it just enough vitality to reward a deliberate half-day visit rather than a passing glance.
