Welcome
The Welsh Game Fair is extensively considered as the sporting pinnacle of the country sports calendar, attracting thousands of visitors including working dog enthusiasts, anglers, clay-pigeon shooters, hunt followers and of course lurcher and terrier enthusiasts.
Since its inception in 1986 the Welsh Game Fair aims to demonstrate the importance of game and country pursuits and its contribution to the Welsh Countryside, educate members of the public of all ages, celebrate the natural beauty of our surrounding wildlife and to raise the importance of Countryside Conservation.
The event is blessed with one of the most scenic show venues in the country, with the River Towy, famous for its sea trout and salmon providing a natural boundary on its west side.
With over 250 Trade Stands there is always a fantastic array of equipment and goods available at the Welsh, in addition to a huge Craft Marquee encompassing rural traders.
