Holkham Country Fair 2013

The Fair uses the immediate park of Holkham Hall, one of the great Palladian houses of England and home to the Earls of Leicester; it is probably the largest event in North Norfolk, one of the country's most beautiful regions. Given good weather, we can expect crowds of about 40,000 people over the weekend. The focus of the Show is the Grand Ring centred under the South Front of the house, with over 200 trade stands and crafts stretching away to the south. Around the park are over 30 showground attractions, many with a country theme.

Some of them are mini shows in their own right. For example, the Country Fair hosts a major sporting clay pigeon shoot, a top-class gundog team test, a busy fishing area, a large fine food village, a wonderful gathering of Historic Cars, a countryman's area, and many many more Have-A-Go sections and exhibits.
