Families will flock to Knebworth House over the weekend to enjoy family fun at the Knebworth Game and Country Show.

The fair has been organised by the same company that brought us the East of England Food Festival in April and the Christmas Fair last year, Oakleigh Fairs.

A spokesperson for Oakleigh Fairs says: “We are delighted to be returning to Knebworth for the Country Show. It’s a fantastic setting and we really enjoy working with the team there.

“Our events are designed with the whole family in mind – we want to deliver a really good weekend that everyone can enjoy – young and old, and we are introducing some game elements to the show this year."

The fair promises something for everyone, from Horkesley Park’s heavy horse demonstration to the goat show featuring milking and cheese-making. Little ones will be entertained at the children’s farm and groom their own miniature ponies. They can also enjoy a traditional Punch and Judy show.

Other events include birds of prey, falconry displays and ferret racing. The sheep show will be enjoyed by all the family as will the dog and duck herding.

For those who enjoy history, the knights of honour battle re-enactments, a medieval village and fighting knights provide the perfect opportunity.

On Sunday, you are invited to bring along a canine friend to take part in the companion dog show, all the proceeds will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The show will include arts, crafts and gifts marquees, lifestyle and food stalls and a dinosaur trail and adventure playground for young children. Plus you will be able to enjoy hands-on art.
