Tripes Farm

Tripes Farm comes across from the reviews as a properly organised boot fair in Kent, held on Sundays every fortnight from late March to October. It has plenty of onsite parking, free entry, and a fairly straightforward setup for sellers and buyers alike. This is much more market morning than animal attraction, so if you were expecting a classic farm park, that is not what the reviews describe. What it seems to do well is the practical stuff parents care about: easy parking, decent management, hot food, ice cream vans, and even pets being welcome. Several reviewers call it a good family morning out, and the free entry makes it an easy one to try without feeling mugged by the gate. There is also a sense that it can be good for bargain-hunting, especially if you get there early. The downsides are pretty clear too. The toilets are described as good but limited, with one reviewer saying there are only two and more would help. Bargains are not guaranteed, and some sellers apparently ask eye-watering prices for small toys, which is very much part of the boot fair experience. In other words: useful, decent, and well run, but not especially exciting unless your children enjoy the thrill of rummaging through other people’s old stuff.
