Lowther Game and Country Fair is this weekend (13th and 14th August) at Lowther, in Cumbria.
The Working Dog Village offers as much fun and excitement for your dog as it does for the rest of the family. Whatever your interest, or skill level, there's a wide variety of activities for you and your dog to enjoy.
The Gundog Scurries and Working Test provide exceptional have-a-go opportunities, and the Mitsubishi Motors World Series Gundog Championship rewards excellence with the world's largest gundog prize fund.
So why not come and have a go....

Overwhelming Success as the Lowther Country Fair arrives for its debut show -
The very first Lowther Country Fair took place within the stunning grounds of Lowther Castle at the weekend, with Countryman Fairs’ newest event welcoming an astonishing 22,000 visitors through its gates to experience the very best our countryside has to offer.
This year’s most anticipated event has had an incredible response from both locals and visitors from up and down the country, with sports enthusiasts and families enjoying everything from traditional field sports to have-a-go activities and family entertainment. This year’s newest event has also hosted another set of qualifying rounds in many sporting disciplines. From the Mitsubishi Motors World Series Clay Shooting and Gundog Championships, to the Terrier and Lurcher Champion of Champions and the ATEO Junior Airgun Championships, the weekend has put through more sets of qualifiers who will take part at the prestigious Midland Game Fair’s Grand Final this September.
Whilst the week leading up to the event bought with it some unsettled weather, the weekend remained mostly dry with people undeterred by the reports and attending fully prepared to enjoy what the weekend had in store. With the added surprise of Sunday’s glorious sunshine too, those attending were able to kick back and enjoy the spectacular displays in the Main Arena, sitting on the bank to watch various acts such as The Knights of Middle England and The Vale of Lune Harriers, a truly fabulous sight to behold!
Countryman Fairs’ Chief Executive, Ian Harford, expresses his delight at bringing life back to the Lowther showground. “We are so pleased to have been able to bring the Lowther Country Fair back to the grounds of Lowther Castle. Speaking with many of you across the weekend, it is clear that Lowther’s return is most welcomed with both visitors and traders embracing its new look and feel and getting involved in all kinds of countryside demonstrations and activities. With Lowther now over for this year, and with only one more event to go for this season, we can’t wait to build on what we’ve created so far and look forward to producing the finest set of countryside attractions in the UK… and we welcome you all to be a part of it!”

We went there on the Saturday ( 13th ). The dog demonstrations were outstanding! The Game Fair will now be there on a permanent basis on every 2nd weekend in August.
It's good to see the Lowther park back in use! We were there at the British Carriage Driving Championships in 2008. That was the year of MUD !!
So much mud that the 2 day event was cancelled after just one day and it was announced weeks later that the 2009 event was to be cancelled due to the damage to the grounds.
Before the year was out it had been announced that this event was to be abandoned and no future events would be held there.
So it was with great delight ( and trepidation ! ) that we went to the newly established Game Fair of 2011. Lessons had been learned and there were loads of aluminium roadways laid down also an aluminium ramp through the gate by the car park exits. These were the scenes of green-wellie deep mud in 2008!!
Make a note of next years show, this is a pretty area and a cracking show.
