If you love the countryside, care about rural life in the Garden of England or simply want more memorable days out, becoming a member of the Kent County Agricultural Society (KCAS) offers more than just event access… It’s a way to support local food production, farming, horticulture and rural crafts while enjoying a package of exclusive benefits.

Support a Proud Agricultural Tradition

The Kent County Agricultural Society has been championing the county’s rural community since 1923. As a registered charity, KCAS reinvests all proceeds from its events and activities to support agriculture, educate future generations and celebrate life in the countryside. Its flagship event is the iconic Kent County Show, alongside other popular events like the Heritage Transport Show and Biddenden Tractorfest.

By becoming a Society member, you’re helping put meaningful support behind these traditions and ensuring that farming heritage continues to thrive in Kent.
