Posted on 27th April 201827th April 2018 by Hollywater Hens

Hollywater Hens has been asked to give some educational talks at this year’s Surrey County Show on Spring Bank Holiday Monday – 28th May.

Come and meet Suzie Baldwin and get some great advice and all of your chicken questions answered.

The Surrey County Show is a fantastic family day out, bringing the countryside and rural life into the heart of Guildford.

The show brings together hundreds of animals, food and drink, top class entertainment, exquisite rural crafts and competition to provide an unmissable day out with something for every member of the family.

The show is held on the 66 acre site of Stoke Park, just a mile from Guildford Town Centre. The biggest one day agricultural show in the UK, it welcomes around 30,000 visitors each year and has the luxury of excellent road links, a train station just a few minutes’ walk away and free off-site park and ride.
