Childrens Entertaiment

Children’s entertainment at each country fair is lots of fun. Special favourites can be found to enjoy, with bouncy castles, the chance to make a face and throw a pot, roundabouts and puppet shows and lots more besides.

 

Exciting free Country sports sessions with experts from Falconry, fishing and dog handling introduces children to favourite country activities and gives them a skill for life. 

 

The three activities are – fishing, falconry and gundog handling.

 

Other activities to join in with are ‘Make & Take’  in the Craft Village, archery and airgun training.

Who knows, it may be time to become an ATEA junior hot shot? 

 

Children love the fairs, the cuddly ferrets, the cheeky duck and sheepdogs, the horses, the toys and lots more as well. 

 

'Learn How To'
Dog Handling

It's fun to learn

Learn the basic disciplines of gun dog handling with The Mullenscote Gundog Clinic.

They provide demonstrations throughout the day and are on hand to offer advice and information about anything from professional gundogs to loving pets with behavioural problems.

Fishing with The Angling Trust

Visit The Angling Trust at the fishing area. They  offer advice about everything fishing related, from techniques and methods to which bait to use.

They have thier own fully trained and certified coaching staff and whether you're a beginner catching your first fish or an experienced fisherman, there's always something new to learn and try.

At fairs without water, "Have a Go" sessions take place in the dry skills arena. The sessions include target practice with different casting techniques, baiting with tennis balls and pole and a look at different rigs. All in all a bit of fun, which teaches children new skills.

Falconry.

Each day at the fair three different falconry sessions take place. Lucky children can learn and try basic falconry skills. All free of charge!

Learn the theory and skills of bird handling, safety, flying and legislation; all important skills when thinking of becoming a bird of prey owner.
