The Westcountry Game Fair, billed as the ultimate countryside experience and the first of the great regional game fairs in the calendar, is set to visit the Royal Bath and West Showground on Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16, 2008.

The event, which is in its 12th year, regularly attracts thousands of visitors who are passionate about the rural way of life. It is one of the first opportunities in the year for like-minded people to come together to celebrate this way of life.

The shooting activities are a popular aspect to the event and there is certainly a wide variety of shooting events and advice available at this year's show including clay pigeon shooting and have-a-go pistol and rifle ranges.

Dogs are an important element of living and working in the country, and they are certainly well represented at the event. The ever-popular gundog parade will feature in the indoor arena on both Saturday and Sunday hosting a wide variety of gundog breeds.

The Westcountry Game Fair is a great supporter of traditional rural skills and activities, and this year is no exception. Flycasting demonstrations and coaching with world champion Hywel Morgan will be available for the fishing enthusiasts, a special deer area has been set aside for this most fascinating member of the countryside's fauna, archery and falconry take us back to some of the earliest methods of hunting, and stick and hurdle making will also be demonstrated. As ever, the popular racing ferrets will also be on hand to thrill the crowds.

A Game Cookery Theatre will host experts who will demonstrate how to prepare delicious meals from traditional game meats.

The show will also feature a variety of demonstrations including wildfowling with Chris Green The Ultimate Countryman'; falconry; a hunt parade, racing terriers and many more.

The show also has four halls full of countryside shopping - guns, fishing equipment, gifts, clothing, paintings, prints, food and much more, plus experts and advice.

The event is from 9am-5pm both days. Admission adults £10, OAP £9, child (5 to 16 yrs) £7, family (2 adults + 2 children) £26, under 5s are free. Advanced and group ticket discounts available. To book, visit https://www.contour.uk.net, call (01749) 813899 or visit Shepton Mallet TIC.
