Country Fest

 

Following a highly successful inaugural event, the Westmorland County Agricultural Society, organisers of the Westmorland County Show, will again stage Country Fest, to be held at the County Showfield, Crooklands on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May, 2010.

 

Incorporating the former Westmorland Food Lovers Festival, Country Fest gives a real taste of the countryside, celebrating the quality and diversity of the superb independent food and drink producers and suppliers that abound in Cumbria and the North West. 

 

Alongside a full programme of talks and demonstrations, visitors can also learn where their food comes from in the “Why Farming Matters” Zone, which will include a wide range of farm animals. An Eco Zone, Wedding Fayre, wide variety of trade stands along with a packed Demonstration Arena, wide ranging childrens’ activities and entertainment and lots of good music ensure a great day out for the whole family.
