Galloway Country Fair returns
Drumlanrig Castle will once again be the site of the remarkable Galloway Country Fair, an annual event with a fun-filled weekend of country sports, family activities, exhilarating main-ring entertainment, plus excellent local crafts and foods
The Galloway Country Fair is a great day out for the whole family. Even if you’re not that into the country sports way of life, the huge range of food and drink, local producers, and trade stalls has something for everyone.
With demonstrations over both days, the main ring is always bustling with activity and things to see. Think dog shows, falconry displays, gundog displays, vehicle demonstrations, and even the ‘Lamb National’. There is so much to see and do, and it is an absolute haven for dog lovers. You can also take your dog along for the day and get involved in some of the hands-on shows and games.
There’s plenty for the kids to do too. Please take advantage of our children’s zone with a whole host of free entertainment for the younger members of the family! They can enjoy a free climbing wall, Segways, a Minion bouncy castle, Denver’s Den inflatable, bumper boots, and an army assault course, with a small charge for bungee trampolines and water walkers.
Of course, no country fair is complete without field sports, and there will be plenty for the fishing enthusiast and shooting fans alike. The fair hosts ‘come and try’ sessions, which are ideal for beginners but also great fun for experienced shooters to test their skills on the clays.
