There will be lots of new displays including The Essex Dog Display Team
which is generally accepted as the premier and longest established dog
display team in Great Britain and Europe.
There are excellent equestrian displays and workshops at the East Anglian
Game & Country Fair.
UK Horseboarding Arena Demos “somewhere between scurry racing and wake
boarding” describes Arena Boarding. Teams take on the clock around a course
of gates, set to challenge the best boarders and horse riders, from long
straights into sweeping bends and ninety degree turns. In terms of
motorsport it is more like rallying or Formula 1. Teams have to work
together to achieve the right racing line to take the bends and complete the
course. An absolute must-see spectacle - you will not be able to take your
eyes off it, as teams achieving already unbelievable speeds, get faster with
each race.
They have a fantastic line up of more free events to watch in the Main and
Countryside Arenas. Ring displays also include 6 times FITASC Sporting World
Champion, European Champion and English Open Champion John Bidwell
performing his world famous off the hip trick shooting with an automatic and
pump action shotgun shooting from the hip over his shoulders and from
between his legs, this is a rare opportunity to see John’s display.
West Norfolk Hunt will be taking the hounds for a parade of the ring,
Bernese Mountain Dogs, Flight of the Falcons, Ferret Racing, Fly Fishing,
Berkley Owls, Sheep Dog and Duck Display, Lurcher Displays, Gun Dog
demonstrations and much more.
The Mid-Norfolk Gundog Club has been providing its members with training and
competitions for 30 years and this year the Club celebrates its 25th
anniversary as a Kennel Club Registered Society. The Countryside Arena
demonstrations illustrate the stages of training for spaniels and retrievers
as they are prepared to become working gundogs. Trained gundogs have a vital
role in any form of responsibly conducted game shooting. In the Main Ring,
the roles and work of spaniels and retrievers are demonstrated in the
context of the shooting field. Mid Norfolk Gun Dog Club will be running the
Gun Dog Scurry competitions and a Team Gundog Working Test - a competition
for trained gundogs that simulates the problems the dogs will encounter when
working.
Whether you are a practicing falconer, nature enthusiast or not the falconry
village is sure to keep you entertained. There will be mini events going on

chance to practice you skills at catching a ‘wild injured owl’ plus several
stands to browse along with expert advice from falconers.

village.

competitions on their stand over the weekend. Find out how quickly you can
prepare a pigeon for the table without using a knife.

obstacle course from old oil drums to large tree trunks.
