Why The Game Fair is beyond compare
The Field
|July 2023
Since 1958, The Game Fair has been a stirring annual celebration of fieldsports and country life, and this year the event is marking its 65th anniversary
THE GAME Fair returns to Ragley Hall in Warwickshire at the end of this month to celebrate its 65th anniversary. Close to 150,000 visitors are expected to attend from Friday, 28 July to Sunday, 30 July and, once again, it promises to be a tremendous celebration of fieldsports and country life. The Hall, home to the 9th Marquess of Hertford, sits in 450 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland near Stratford-upon-Avon. A packed itinerary includes thrilling displays and competitions, educational demonstrations and plenty of chances for visitors to have a go for themselves. There's something for everyone, from clay shooting and rifle enthusiasts to fishing fanatics, foodies and more.
The Field has been at the heart of every Game Fair since 1958 and this year will be no different, with our stand located at the centre of the show adjacent to the Main Enclosure. We are looking forward to meeting our readers, new subscribers and sporting friends.
GUNMAKERS' ROW
A meander down Gunmakers' Row is a must for any sportsman or woman. Leading gunmakers will display their latest products alongside old favourites, with shooting coats, gumboots, gundog accessories and everything else you can think of adorning the trodden path on each side. You can also visit the Gunmakers' Theatre for informative presentations and talks.
