Burghley Game & Country Fair returns this May

It’s Country Fair time at Burghley Estate. This popular event returns to the Showground on Sunday & Monday May 26th/27th.

The show boasts a dynamic programme of entertainment in its two main arenas, with the addition of one or two new faces and acts this year. After a three-year absence Jousting returns to the Andy Singleton arena with an exhilarating display by OG Performance Horse.

Bob Hogg with his sheepdog and ducks provide some light hearted entertainment, whilst Aubrey Ladyman the newly crowned Kennel Club Spaniel Champion and Bella his Springer Spaniel will be demonstrating some of the serious aspects of working gundogs. He is joined by Paul Makepeace and Charlotte Brown from the gundog clinic.

The newcomers are complemented with all the old favourites, Horse Boarding, Scurry Racing, Falconry and various dog displays – lots of choices to be made when planning your day out.

There are a host of smaller arenas dotted around the showground, the Fun Dog Show where you can enter the family pooch, or the Gundog Clinic, scurries and working test to work out training difficulties or the Fly-Casting arenas to name just a few.

After all the activities, take some time out to relax in the various food courts listening to live jazz, taste great street food and take home your favourite nibbles from the Food Halls.

There are of course all the old favourites, a Craft village, Country Sports exhibitors & Traders and lots of country sports to ‘Have a Go’ at.

Airguns, Archery and Paintball in the Shooting Village, Fishing, and a wide range of dog competitions. With gundog scurries, Lurcher racing and shows on both days, with Whippets joining on the Sunday, and a Fun Dog Show for the family pooch.

So don’t leave your dog at home, bring them along and join in.
