The world’s greatest annual country sports event, The CLA Game Fair, will be held for the first time in its 47 year history at Belvoir Castle, Nr Grantham, Leicestershire, Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th July 2005.

This spectacular venue presents a perfect site particularly for core areas of the show where the castle sits high overlooking the whole of The Game Fair with the shooting competitions taking place in mature woodland, the gundog events over natural ground leading to the water, and the game fishing competitions and events which will be in the centre of the show on the large attractive lake.

There will be three entrances to the site, each with their own car park which will be accessed from a variety of routes carefully planned by the organisers, local authorities, traffic police and the Estate.

Although The Game Fair has introduced major new show features over the last 5 years to encourage families and newcomers to visit the show, Gumakers Row, Fisherman’s Village, Falconry and the extensive Gundog section are at the very heart of The CLA Game Fair. These core areas continue to grow with more specialist exhibitors and added events and displays brought in each year.

The newer show areas which include The Totally Food Show, Elegant Gardens and Hooked on Horses are all growing in importance as well. These areas offer families and newcomers the opportunity to enjoy a great day out, whilst at the same time introducing them to traditional country sports through the many Have a Go features, tuition areas, Start Shooting and Fishing Advice Stands and this year the introduction of a Start Working Your Dog Advice Stand which organisers feel confident will be popular with regular Game Fair visitors as well as people visiting the show for the first time.
