It’s the biggest countryside event in Wales and it’s an action-packed weekend with masses of entertainment for the whole family. The Welsh Game Fair will be held at Pembrey Country Park on June 20 and 21. There’s so much going on over the two days, here’s a brief idea of the programme:
Something for everyone
There are dare devil stunt shows using motorbikes, quads and cars; falconry displays, dog handling, coursing demos, casting tuition for anglers, terrier and lurcher shows, dog racing, archery, a massive craft fair, trade fair and the delicious food hall. And that’s just a taster!
Children’s corner will have bouncy castles, quad bikes, fairground rides and loads more activities.
In the main arena the Adrenaline Tour will feature Jason Smyth, one of the UK’s leading quad bike and motorbike stunt riders, with many years of experience in top level Motocross. He will stage an amazing motorcycle display, including stunning freestyle jumps 30feet in the air.
See Dingle Fingle the undercover policeman who is out to catch Slippery Sid, the classic car thief in an action-packed show with two mad cap clowns, moving car stunts, quad stunts, drifts, donuts, precision driving and high speed crosses. Not forgetting the 30 gallon water cannon.
Ye Olde Redtail Falconry Display team will be showing their skills, there will be duck herding demos by Meirion, who has won many a sheepdog championship. Duck herding shows off the fantastic talents of border collies to great effect.
Ever-popular simulated coursing demonstrations will take place on both Saturday and Sunday in the main arena.
Casting Champion Hywel Morgan will be providing expert advice in the casting clinics and demonstrations on a purpose-built casting arena. The Welsh Salmon and Trout Association will also be there to provide guidance and advice on all angling matters.
