Jevington Terrier Racing & Show
It was a terrier named Grab who started my abiding passion for terrier racing, fast and furious, a terrier’s dream!
Jevington Terrier racing started in a small way in a field behind the cricket pitch in 2004, it then moved to the Monastery Field near the church in later years. It has raised approximately £7,000 for charities since it’s inception, including The Brook Hospital for Horses, Help for Heroes, Blind Veterans UK., The Stevie Fisher Trust and The Kent Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance.
We rely on help from a lot of volunteers who give up their time to set it up, run it, and then take it all down again, leaving the field litter free and ready for horses to go back onto it the next day.
