Camping available for the first time at country fair

Camping will be available for the first time at a fair celebrating countryside traditions and rural life in Norfolk.

Organisers of the Holkham Country Fair are offering camping at the event for the for the first time in its 38 year history.

Visitors can pitch up at Holkham Estate and make the most of the weekend exploring the fair during the day and enjoying a local band in the evening.

The fair takes place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July.

Held in the grounds of Holkham Hall, visitors will be camping in acres of grassland and will be only a stone’s throw away from Holkham beach, voted best the best in Great Britain. 

Campers can bring their own tents, caravans, campervans or can hire a luxury bell tent for the family.

- Clay pigeon shooting, fishing and target golf
- Traditional fairground rides and classic side stalls straight from the set of ITV’s Downton Abbey
- The British Scurry driving trials and the spectacular Freefall Parachute Display Team

Camping tickets start at £107 per pitch for Friday and Saturday nights and two 2-day adult tickets for the fair.
