The Great Game Fairs of Ireland
The GREAT GAME FAIRS of IRELAND are planning many
new attractions for the Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle on
the 27th & 28th June and Irish Game & Country Fair at Birr
Castle, Co Offaly on the 29th & 30th August.
The Shanes and Birr Fairs will literally be bigger and better
than ever!
There are four key themes to each fair – country sports,
country living, living history and fine food. This year, each
will be extended and enhanced to provide spectacular visitor
experiences for the whole family; indeed, anyone who lives,
works or plays in the Irish countryside.
Hunting, shooting, gundogs and fishing will be centre stage
at the Great Game Fairs of Ireland. 2015 sees all these
segments take a giant leap forward including the superb
‘country sports in action’ arena with action from long netting
to ferret racing. Catch the super angling attractions at the
fairs to see the greatest changes - with new angling shows
supported by DCAL Fisheries Division and Inland Fisheries
Ireland.
Competitions in clay shooting, gundogs, terriers, lurchers &
whippets provide fantastic international competitions with
prize funds unrivalled in Ireland. The clay pigeon shooting
at the Shanes Castle Fair has FOUR shotguns to be won and
the gundog internationals feature top teams from England,
Scotland, Wales, ROI and NI.
There’s a huge number of attractions for the whole family
including a children’s area, lots of have-a-go activities
including a ‘put and take’ fishery; main arena programmes
packed with action and huge tented villages of trade stands
packed with bargains and quality products including fine
food.
Irish living history will be brought to life and the hugely
successful medieval jousting at both fairs will be a major
highlight with the top UK team ‘The Knights from the North.’
You can also meet the knights, vikings and all sorts of
military re-enactments in the living history village.
