Start the school holidays with a bang! - The New Forest Show is on from Tuesday 26th – Thursday 28th July and to celebrate organisers are offering three lucky Echo readers the chance to each win a family ticket.
The Family Fun area is specifically designed for children, full of things to do and see. All day entertainment, includes dancing, face-painting, circus workshops and listening to magical story telling, not forgetting a whole range of sporting activities from pole climbing to football. There are children’s competitions, quizzes and games in almost every marquee across the Showground and there is also a treasure trail around the showground with great prizes to be won.
Some of the highlights this year include, Jamie Squibb’s spectacular motorbike stunts, dog agility competitions, the Pony Mounted Games and much, much more. Enjoy the return of the children’s Show farm and for the first time a poultry section will be there with an amazing array of ducks, chickens of all shapes and sizes This year the Show is delighted to have a Children's Discovery Zone. Here the public will be able to see the school project work which has been developed following farm visits by many of Hampshire’s schools, plus interactive educational activities which are being provided 'free of charge' by the members of the education committee.
Children also have the opportunity to learn to fish, cheer on the participants in the terrier racing, look at a live bee hive, watch the international showjumping, join the fox hounds in the main ring or just sit down and enjoy an ice cream while they decide what to do next.
For details of how to enter, see Saturday's Daily Echo.
