Hurst Horse Show and Country Fayre
24th & 25th June 2006

A hive of activity is taking place across Hurst village as we ramp up our preparations for the 2006 Hurst Horse Show and Country Fayre. With new members on the committee this year the show promises to be the best ever with lots of new attractions for the whole family. We have also had a lot of interest and support from local sponsoring companies that has enabled us to increase our publicity and events.

On the Horse Show side, we are offering the full range of jumping and showing classes and there will be plenty of fun events and displays for all the family to enjoy. Schedules and entry forms are available on our website.

At the Country Fayre this year we have plenty of activities to entertain you including our bustling stalls, Morris Dancers, horse and dray rides, tug of war, birds of prey, Flyball dogs, a Grand Draw, ferret and terrier racing, bouncy castle, wine tasting and much, much more.

Last year we introduced the scarecrow competition and it was very popular indeed and this year we are repeating the competition so please do come along with your special creation. Scarecrow competition entry forms can be obtained from our website.

This year we have extended our catering choices and our licensed bar will feature the world cup football live on TV, so there is no excuse for all the family not to attend! Come along and soak up the atmosphere with all your friends and family.

The week before the show is the crucial time when most preparations to the field take place, we urgently need many more people to help this year. Please help us if you can, on the dates listed below:
