A FANTASTIC array of country pursuits, aeronautical displays and daredevil stunts will be on show this weekend.

The Welsh Game Fair, which takes place at Gelli Aur near Llandeilo, aims to demonstrate the fun side of game sports and rural pursuits.

Thousands of visitors will descend upon the idyllic show ground on the banks of the River Towy to witness events ranging from gun dog trials to Red Arrow displays.

Organiser Adrian Simpson said: "It's a great day out for all the family.

"And it is not just for country pursuit enthusiasts it's a wonderful event that brings people to the area from all over the country."

While the show hopes to educate people of all ages about the importance of countryside conservation it is also a chance to witness some unique skills, including world record holder James Dylan and his Stuntworld team — the most experienced motorcycle show in Britain, as well as the Red Arrow parachute team performing their famous routine.

The fair in its 25th year will have over 250 stalls dedicated to hunting, fishing, dog training, walking, motor sports and more, this is on top of a huge craft marquee, food hall, vintage parade and children's entertainment area.

The show opens from 10am Saturday and Sunday. Admission prices are adults £10, senior citizens £7, children £5 (under-5s free).

Also available is a family ticket for £25 (two adults and two children under 16).
