The County Fair was a mixture of retail, activities and demonstrations.  Along side The EcoVillage, there was terrier racing, ferret racing, dog shows, a food hall, retail stands and tank and quad bike rides.

There was lots of interest in The EcoVillage; the team were on hand to give out advice and information about creating a greener lifestyle, promoting the green business directory, The Book of Green and ink cartridge recycling by Recycle 4 U. For the children, there was a paper pod pyramid to colour and reusable bags for sale in aid for Kent Wildlife Trust.

There was a wide range of exhibitors at The EcoVillage from Euro Flames, stylish wood burners and cookers, to Riverford Organics, the organic veg box company. Wildlife specialist; Kent Wildlife Trust, Wild Thing Wildlife Consultants, Snapper Vet and Animal Days Out.
