CLA Game Fair 2010 set to boost Warwickshire’s rural economy
The CLA Game Fair 2010 will be held at Ragley Hall, near Alcester, Warwickshire from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 July 2010.
Ragley Hall is a new and exciting venue for the CLA Game Fair, superbly located adjacent to the M40, M5, M6 and M42 motorways offering a well positioned venue for visitors from all parts of the country.
The Country Land & Business Association (CLA) Fair is the biggest countryside exhibition in the world and is set to provide a major shot-in-the-arm to the county’s rural economy. This summer, the fair was held at Belvoir Castle, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland.
Ragley Hall is a majestic Palladian house, built by Robert Hooke in 1680. It is the family home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Hertford. Ragley Hall houses a magnificent collection of art, porcelain and furniture. It also lays claim to 400 acres of parkland laid out by Capability Brown.
CLA West Midlands spokesman Tim Barnes-Clay said: "The CLA Game Fair continues to go from strength to strength and has been a resounding success at Belvoir Castle. The CLA is absolutely delighted that Ragley Hall has been chosen for the 2010 CLA Game Fair. It is a wonderful site and I am sure we will continue our long tradition of staging a superb and enjoyable event."
As well as nearly 1,000 exhibitors, in areas such as Fisherman’s Village, Gamekeeper’s/Estate Management Row, the Regional Food Village and Elegant Gardens, there will be various show spaces hosting demonstrations (cookery, fishing and more), displays (from falconry to ferret racing), debates and discussions, competitions, workshops and opportunities to ’Have a Go’.
Advice and tuition will be offered in traditional countryside sports, such as falconry and fishing, and activities will include driving on a 4x4 course and bungee trampolining.
