Get Involved In Our Events.

There is absolutely loads to have a go at when you spend a day at a Living Heritage Game and Country Fair. We know that smaller people like to do, not just watch, and we have opportunities for them to have a go at things they will be bursting to write about in their weekend book when they get back to school! (Please note, places are restricted to first come, first served and there may be a height/age restriction on some activities)

ATEO Air Rifle Shooting

Shooting static targets with state of the art rifles – what’s not to like? Our expert coaches are there to make sure you succeed (one to one), and if you really get the hang of this you can enter our Living Heritage ATEO Challenge and maybe even win your own BSA Cadet Rifle.

Archery

Hybrid was an accident waiting to happen

The initial idea of Hybrid came while hosting a private event for a bow hunting group.

An off the cuff comment from a member of the party came through loud and clear “This has been the best event I’ve been to in ages & you’re really good at teaching- you should do this for a job!”

That was all that was needed to set the cogs in motion. A love of archery, fieldsports, and having fun had accidentally spawned something!

A few months passed- a lot of equipment was purchased and squirrelled away with the view to start something amazing…

Falconry

A short falconry lesson with one of our expert falconers, learning how to hold these magnificent birds properly; how to fly them and a little bit about their care and background.

Great photo opportunity!

Gun Dog Scurries

Also for your gun dog we have the Sandringham Lintran Junior Challenge. Can you get your dog to retrieve a dummy either seen, blind or over some bales? Lots of help and no pressure: you’re there to have fun… but your dog might just surprise you.

Dog Handling

Bring your gun dog along to our gun dog clinic and our experienced handler Phil Parkin will give you some top tips in handling him and even getting him to do some basic gun dog work.

In the Dog Show

We have two different dog shows with child handling classes: if you have a lurcher there is the lurcher and the Fun Dog Show for all other breeds. In fact children are welcome to enter any class in any dog show, as long as they have control of the dog. Don’t forget your fancy dress costume for the Fun Dog Show!

Cute and Cuddly

Come and meet some of our small cute and furry creatures in the ferret or hamster tents. The ferrets will be racing every hour on the hour, so come and cheer on your favourites. The hamsters are there to look cute and enjoy the attention!

*parental warning: they do sell hamsters and cages! (But seriously if you are thinking of buying one anyway these are in the best possible condition)
