Hamstreet Country Show Weekend 5th -6th June 2010 .

The first Country show was held at Hamstreet in 1995 on Pound Lees, it was truly a village affair. However profit was a mere £200 and Hamstreet District Sports & Leisure Association were worried about bankruptcy at the first attempt!

In 1999, a classic vehicle show was introduced on the Sunday, as the show went from strength to strength with 16 vehicles attending, the committee thought they hard really cracked it! ….. last years show attracted 480 vehicles !.Since the early days money raised has seen the Pound Lees drained at a cost of £40,000, a new multi sport games area at a cost of £64,000 and a field lighting at a cost of £18,000. The field is being constantly maintained, grass cut, hedges trimmed and pest and weed controlled.

H.D.S.L has the ultimate goal of building an extension to the existing changing rooms and to provide a modern up to date sports facility for all in Hamstreet and surrounding areas. Building permission has been granted, further funding is now being sought to make this dream reality. Last years show attracted approximately 8,000 visitors over the 2 days. The addition of some major attractions including an air show enabled us to earn in excess of £23,000 profit. Our Sunday (classic) vehicle show attracted nearly 500 modes of transport.

Hamstreet Sports and Leisure Association is a sub committee of Orelstone Parish Council. It's 12 members and a large number of volunteers give their time for free to make Hamstreet and surrounding areas a better place to live.

Please support our event and enjoy your visit to the Hamstreet Country Show Weekend.
