Rural Past Times is a family friendly show, now celebrating it’s tenth year and a weekend which can be enjoyed by all, young or not so young. It is a working weekend with so much to see and do including areas for heavy horses, working tractors, stationary engines, display ring, tractor and trailer rides and live music. There is of course a beer tent, refreshments, food outlets and toilets.

Stand by your beds, the military is here

Monkings Farm is the ideal location for this very popular event, on the edge of Staplecross and Northiam villages in fabulous rural surroundings with stunning views over adjoining countryside. There is plenty of parking and for what is on offer, the entrance price of £10 for adults is very reasonable. Children between the ages of 5 and 14 only pay £5.

An old faithful still ready for action

The event is on this Saturday and Sunday, August 12 and 13 from 10am – 5pm and there really is something for everyone. So, if you are a loose end this weekend and want to give the kids or grandkids a day they won’t forget in a hurry, show your support by coming along to Rural Past Times.

Up and over as Eddie Waring would say

The aim of the show is to provide an insight into the history of farming and other aspects of country pursuits, crafts and handicrafts and cottage industries. The monies raised will be shared amongst a selection of chosen charities, the majority being local.

Monkings Farm, Hastings Road, Horns Cross, East Sussex, TN31 6JG. Situated at the junction of the B2165 & A28 just outside Northiam.
