TRACTOR rides, a sheep show and swooping birds of prey are just some of the highlights at an event which aims to bring a taste of rural life to east London later this month.

The 'Countryside Live' show takes place at Leyton Marsh behind the Lee Valley Ice Centre on Saturday September 24 and Sunday September 25 between 10am and 4.30pm.

Organised by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, the family-friendly event will include a wide variety of activities for youngsters and their parents.

Entry is £3 for adults and free for children.
