Thank you to everyone who attended the Farmers Hoedown 2026. The event was a huge success and we can't wait to do it again next year. An update will come soon regarding how much we managed to raise for charity. Watch this space...


Join us on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September for a fantastic weekend of family fun—all while raising vital funds for The Farming Community Network (FCN), National Farmers' Union, Canterbury and St Mary’s Church in Stodmarsh, and run in partnership with the Young Farmers Club in Canterbury.

​

Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Live country music throughout the weekend

  • An impressive display of tractors

  • A delicious BBQ

  • Outside bar

  • Traditional family and village games including Wheelbarrow Races & Wellie Wanging on at 3pm on Saturday and the Farmers Tug-Of-War at 3.30pm on Sunday

  • A fundraising raffle, pulled at 4pm on Sunday

  • Village stalls

  • …and plenty more!

 

Entry is completely FREE, so bring along your family and friends, enjoy a brilliant weekend in the countryside and help us support the people at the heart of British farming.
