Highclere Country Fair offers plenty of action and entertainment for the whole family, with children’s features including crossbows, countryside workshops and traditional funfair.  There are over 200 top-quality trade stands selling everything for the home and garden, and visitors can also take time out to relax at the picnic area and enjoy superb live entertainment.

Either choose to sit and watch world-class demonstrations in one of our 4 feature arenas, or browse the myriad of displays showcasing our rural heritage. There really is something for the whole family to enjoy.

The Hants and Berks Ferret Welfare group run an advice service for anyone with an interest in ferrets and their care. In support of their information service the Hants and Berks Ferret team organise action packed and fast pace ferret racing, back your ferret and cheer him through a challenging course. Be sure not to blink or you could miss the nail biting finishes that always ensue.

Fun packed children’s entertainment from Banana Brain Fun Show offers traditional Punch and Judy shows, Face Painting, the Tallest Magic Show in the World and balloon modelling throughout the day. If that doesn’t keep the children busy then there is plenty of other ways to keep them amused including the pet dog and have-a-go agility, inflatable fun, fly casting tuition and much, much more.

And for the big kids we present live entertainment in the Main Bar, put your feet up and enjoy the amusing twist on 1920’s music offered by Casablanca Steps. There is also a traditional ale bar offering a wide selection of cask ales and ciders to be enjoyed in the Picnic Area, which offers a fantastic view of the action unfolding in our gundog events. There really is something for everyone.
