Countryman Fairs

Discover more about the team behind Countryman Fairs award winning events...

Countryman Fairs have been organising high quality, nationally acclaimed events since 1983. The high standard of entertainment, professional presentation and great value for money offered by every game and country fair is reflected by the consistent growth in visitors each year. Home to the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of field sports championship events; Countryman Fairs organise what is now widely considered to be the leading group of countryside events in the UK.

Countryman Fairs have developed an award-winning event structure that brings the same superb array of demonstrators, competitions and exhibitors to every show. This core entertainment profile is then enhanced by a wide variety of extra attractions and features that add interest and excitement for visitors. Each event has it’s own unique character and atmosphere, meaning you will take something different away from each one. Our country shows provide entertainment and have-a-go activities for everyone interested in field sports and country life, whatever their age or level of ability.

Our young and dynamic management team are bringing a fresh outlook to the world of country pursuits, drawing upon a wealth of knowledge and experience from everyone associated with Countryman Fairs. We have come along way since the first 3,500 visitors attended the inaugural Midland Game Fair in 1983, with our portfolio of country shows attracting over 176,000 visitors in 2010.
