You can get your entrance, camping and even show entry tickets here.
Buy in advance and keep the pennies in your
pockets for spending at the show.
Please note that wristbands will not be sent out but can be collected on the gate. Please bring your confirmation email with you.
Class sponsorship is a vital part of Greyfest, it helps by paying for the rosettes and fabric printed goodie bags so that every penny taken from the ring is all able to help the animals in need.
Sponsoring a class at Greyfest is much more than that as it allows you to be involved if you can't come or even judge your class if you would like.
Each year a lot of our sponsors like to add a trophy for their class, this is not expected but it is always lovely to give a little more to our winners. You can dedicate a trophy or a prize or treats. Sometimes all 6 placings are awarded some treats and sometimes a box of Bonios to share around all the entrants! It is up to you, it is your class! It doesn't have to be big or fancy, just something from the heart.
You can dedicate your class in memory or affection, a business is welcome to dedicate from their business name. Dedications will be listed next to the class on the programme and on our website as well as the Greyfest group.
We have some options or trophies or prizes available. We can make engraved slate coasters or place mats with a small design, 'Greyfest', the class and year. We will put a small dedication on too if you would like. Just let us know.
We can make wooden dog shaped decorations in a breed of your choice and engrave with Greyfest, year and class or a wooden trophy.
You could also pop in your basket a personalised hand painted sign voucher from Milo and Mimi https://www.facebook.com/miloandmimi this can include class and Greyfest should the winner like.
We have some trophies and medals that have been upcycled with new Greyfest centres and engraved plaques with Greyfest, class and year on. All monies from these will add to the fundraising.
Angela Smithers found on Facebook through the group is offering some wonderful hand made pottery mugs, plates, plaques and bowls. Just contact her for more details. You may have seen some of Angela's creations at Greyfest last year.
We at www.Littlepinkcollars.co.uk can also make a collar at reduced cost if you would like something like that, or a special mug with class on.
We will have a dedicated team this year to take a photo of your class winners so that you can see who was chosen that will be uploaded the group after the event. Some of the classes are filmed live on Facebook so if you can't come you can see what we are up to!
Please message us with any questions, and thank you for your support and being involved in Greyfest!
If you would like to provide something of your own making or choice then contact us for an address to send it or them to.
We at Greyfest understand that sometimes things go wrong and you need to change your mind about a booking or purchase so here is our refund policy.
Physical Items such as the mugs and merchandise may be returned within 2 weeks of purchase if you change your mind as long as they are unused and in new condition. A full refund of the item only without the original postage will be given.

The announcement will be made on Facebook, this website and via an email being sent to the booking email address.

We look forwards to seeing you at Greyfest, here is the address and postcode to find us:
Mount Ephraim Gardens, Staplestreet Road, Hernehill, Faversham, Kent, ME13 9TXhttps://www.mountephraimgardens.co.uk
Saturday 2nd of August 2025 10 am - 5pm approximately Sunday 3rd of August 2025 10am - 5pm approx
Day visitors, please make your way to the main entrance and car par for Mount Ephraim and follow the signs from the car park to Greyfest.
Stallholders and campers in vans and cars please make your way to the cricket club entrance which can be found at the turning by 1 Staplestreet Rd, Faversham ME13 9TX. If you go to google maps and search for Greyfest it will show you the location. Please dont use this entrance if you are a day visitor as it is a turning for a home and there is no parking there.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR LARGE VEHICLES:
The cricket club entrance has a steep hill for access and no room to turn a trailer around in. Campers and Stallholders in large vehicles, caravans or large trailers please make your way to the main car park and find an organiser or ring 07949 836879 for guidance.
If in doubt about your vehicle please message us ahead of time.
We have bins for dog waste but no other facility this year for larger amounts of rubbish, so please take it home and don't fill the bins belonging to the gardens with waste. We need to respect the grounds and leave it undamaged and as clean as we find it.
There are toilets and water up at the cricket pitch, please don't use the water by the house, please only draw water from the tap behind the pavilion. There are toilets between the car park and the cricket pitch but please if possible during the event use the ones in the pavilion and leave these for the visitors to the house and gardens. We want to cause as little disruption to the normal running of the venue as possible and not spoil the enjoyment of the gardens for anyone.If you find any toilet without toilet roll, blocked or needing attention in any way please let one of us know asap so that we can address it.
All dogs to be kept on leads at all times anywhere on the grounds and car parks of the venue. There is a lot of wildlife, also Ducks and Pheasants that roam free and it is our duty to protect them. Whilst we don't wish to be heavy handed, I must say that anyone found with a dog off lead will be asked to leave immediately with no entry refund and will not be welcome at future events. Please also use muzzles as appropriate for dogs that are reactive or excitable by prey or smaller, fluffier dogs as we do welcome other breeds.
There are a few off lead enclosed spaces locally if you are camping and the closest being https://www.hugosfundogfield.com There are also local countryside walks for on and off lead walks nearby.
Thank you for reading this and helping to make Greyfest a fabulous time for everyone!
See you there!
