ferret racing family entertainment at Hampshre Country ShowRacing Ferrets

Come and have a flutter on our ferrets! These speedy (and rather adorable) little creatures race in heats of four to be the first through the tunnels, over the see-saw and to emerge, fully, at the other end. Will it be Treacle this year? Or is Gizmo going to hang on to his lead? Maybe it’s Toffee’s year?

Great family entertainment and strangely addictive; once you have arrived you will definitely want to see who wins!

Come and play games of all types from down the ages in Fiery Jack’s amazing Games Emporium: from Roman to Victorian, it’s a great place to step out of the hustle and bustle of the show and challenge your friends – or children – to a game of giant quoits, or Jenga, or something less well known. Read about the history and learn from experienced jesters!  Fun for the young and the young at heart.

Also in the marquee are display boards photos of many of the more unusual colours and types of hamster, photos of babies hamsters from 1 day old to 37 days old, photos taken by our members of hamsters (both babies and adults) in all sorts of situations.
If you are interested in acquiring a “pedigree” hamster these are the people to ask.

Make and Take - family entertainment at Hampshire Game and Country ShowMake and Take

Family entertainment means it’s fun time for kids!

Children love the Make and Take stand were they can do a variety of activites and make something to take home and treasure. From paint a pot and sand art to making a necklace !

The pots supplied are already fired, so children can just decorate them to their own taste. Pots are decorated using vibrant colours. Tiles are provided too and they are air dried clay tiles 15 x15cm. The tiles are decorated using a variety of impress stanps and stencils and dry at home over 2 days, having been painted using acrylics or poster colours. The final step of varnishing uses a mixture of PVA glue (50%) and water (50%). The finished tiles can be framed

The can make necklaces as well using large ceramic beads which are decorated with vibrant acrylic markers. The beads are threaded together on brightly coloured elastic.

Children can learn how to throw a pot and then make a pot on the pottery wheel as well. A great favourite!

Other craft workshops include: sand art, card making and candle making.

Hi-Five Hektor!Meet Hektor at Hampshire Country Fair

If you have been to any of our Country Shows before, you may well have met Hektor, our big yellow dog.  He wanders the show, delighted to meet everyone, and enjoys high-fiving anyone who will.  If you’re lucky, he may even show you his dancing moves…  Please keep an eye on him though – he does tend to get into trouble!
