East of England Agricultural Society outreach programme – Kids Country

The East of England Agricultural Society’s educational outreach programme, Kids Country, which has proved very successful since its launch in 2013 and has gained strong support from schools for its hands-on and stimulating experiences. Children can see, hear, touch and explore whilst learning about food, farming, livestock and the countryside.  These events, which incorporate elements of the national curriculum, provide both a challenge and an adventure in a fun environment.
