There are some summer Wacky Races at Kent Life Heritage Farm Park at Sandling, Maidstone through to Sunday, August 6.

Encourage the Kent Life ferrets and hamsters in their contests, take part in some races yourself, and cheer on the competitors.

Look out for the events that earn younger visitors points on their Explorer card – each child who completes the card correctly and gets it stamped will receive a free child’s ticket to Kent Life’s fireworks event on Sunday, November 5.

Wacky Races fortnight runs until Sunday, August 6. Other summer activities include the Ice Cream Festival on Bank Holiday Monday, August 28, and Farmyard Fairy Tales from Monday, August 7, to Sunday, August 20.
