The South of England Agricultural Society was founded in 1967, but its early beginnings can be traced back through many hundreds of years of English farming heritage. A consolidation of agricultural societies from the 1830’s, the Society now works across the six counties of Berkshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Surrey and West Sussex. The Society is a registered charity that funds and supports agricultural education and countryside learning. from showcasing the land and its industries to the public to inspiring school children to understand where their food comes from and helping with funding for students interested in a career in agriculture.
Charles Burgoyne, Chairman of the Society commented “We are absolutely delighted that Heritage Live are bringing their concerts to the South of England Event Centre and including such a fantastic local artist as Rag’n’Bone Man. Set in our beautiful showground in the heart of Sussex, it will be a great weekend of live entertainment.”
Alongside many other events involving the local community the South of England Event Centre also hosts large-scale events which draw visitors from further afield such as the International Antiques & Collectors Fair and the South of England Horse Trials.
