Kempton Festival

07/03/2026

A massive thank you to all of our volunteers on the committee, our major sponsor Old Kempton Distillery, the Southern Midlands Council and all of our sponsors for the raffles. Without this support the festival would not happen and we would not be able to support our wonderful community 💛

After a well earned rest for all of our volunteers we have a few posts we would love to share. But the first is the raffle prizes. Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket 🎟️

Tomorrow’s the big day — we can’t wait to see you all there!

Please remember to bring cash for your entry donation and for any delicious treats you might like to grab throughout the day.

A few friendly reminders:
• All dogs must remain on leads at all times.
• We’ve got barrel races, sheep races, gum boot tossing and sheaf tossing happening — so be sure to check the program when you arrive so you don’t miss a thing.

The weather is set to be beautiful, so don’t forget to slip, slop, slap and stay sun safe.

See you tomorrow!

Our famous sheep racing is back this year — and you’ve got to be in it to win it! 🐑🏁
Make sure you’re on time for each heat so you don’t miss your chance to place your bets. Bragging rights (and plenty of laughs) guaranteed.

Don’t forget to sign up for the barrel racing this year! 🏁
We’ve got kids’ and adults’ heats, and depending on numbers there could be up to four different categories. Fast, fun, and a little bit competitive 😉
Huge thanks to Old Kempton Distillery for donating the prizes!
