Show-stopping aerial displays, delicious food demonstrations from top local chefs and hundreds of trade stands are just some of the treats in store for the tens of thousands of visitors to Chatsworth Country Fair next week.
Hugely popular and longtime fair favourites, The Red Arrows, are returning and will be joined by a variety of family-friendly acts. The Imps Motorcycle Display Team will be putting on a spectacular show of billowing fire jumps and motorcycle routines for the Chatsworth crowd for the first time in a decade, and CJ’s Birds of Prey are back with their awe-inspiring falconry display, one of the most popular in the UK.
Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with the Cookery Theatre hosting some of the country’s finest chefs across the weekend, including ‘The Great British Bake Off’ judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood. Other activities on offer, ranging from vintage vehicle displays to hundreds of trade stands, will ensure there is something for everyone to enjoy.
