IT’S all happening down at Hartley Park Farm in Selborne on Sunday.

The North East Hampshire Ploughing Society holds its first ploughing match in its new guise on Sunday, and is joining forces with the Southern Counties Heavy Horse Association’s Great All England heavy horse ploughing match and country fair.

Visitors will be able to see heavy horses being shown and ridden in the two rings and plenty of displays in between – and you can bring the dog along as well as there’s a fun family dog show.

The North East Hampshire Ploughing Society was only formed in April but has a heritage that goes back to 1840. Many will remember that last year saw the last ploughing match under that banner as the North East Hampshire Agricultural Association was incorporated into the Alresford and District Show Society.

However, the ploughing match wasn’t included and a group of committed ploughmen and former committee members were determined to see the traditional annual match continue. And so the North East Hants Ploughing Society was born.

Tickets for the event, which runs from 10am-4pm, are priced £8 for adults and £6 for seniors, with under-16s free. There is also free parking.
