Chatsworth Country Fair - A great day out for all the family!
August 29, 30 & 31 2008
Chatsworth Country Fair - one of England's most spectacular outdoor events - is back for its twenty-seventh year in 2008 with gardening favourite and Country Fair president Alan Titchmarsh leading the opening ceremony on Friday 29 August at 12pm.
Held in the 1000 acre park on the banks of the river Derwent, the three day event in August is packed full of things to watch, do and try, and gives visitors a real flavour of the life in the countryside.
One of the most spectacular sights, weather permitting, promises to be the twice daily hot air balloon lift at dawn and dusk over the beautiful Chatsworth setting, with the grand house sitting at its heart surrounded by impressive gardens and rolling parkland. This is now one of the biggest balloon lifts in the country, second only to the Ashton Court Festival in Bristol.
Other highlights look set to come from one of the country's top parachute display teams, The Tigers Freefall Team of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, dropping into the arena, smoke trailing and flags flying, and a jaw dropping aerobatics trio displaying at low level.
New to the Country Fair for 2008 is the opportunity to try kite flying. Watch The Sheffield Kite Fliers (Friday and Saturday only) as they use their kites to board and buggy before taking part in taster sessions with qualified trainers and instructors at various times throughout the day.
Last year saw the advent of the Fine Food Village and this is back in force for 2008 showcasing the best of specialist food and drink producers with plenty of quality produce on offer to take home. Food lovers can pick up some tips with cookery demonstrations from chef Martin Griffitths amongst others and visitors should look out too for a planned ‘cook off' between some surprise contestants.
Question: For how many years has the Country Fair been in existence?
Answer: 27
Good Luck
