Ploughing was the main event but the day also included a very popular fun dog show. Sheep shearing was demonstrated by local farmer Richard Baker. There were also trade stands by many local agricultural dealerships, a good range of craft stalls, a parade of hounds by the East Sussex and Romney Marsh Hunt and a chance to have a go at ploughing.

All money raised was donated to the Air Ambulance and the RNLI.
