NI Countryside Festival

06 June 2015, 10:00, SCARVAGH HOUSE, SCARVA, CO. ARMAGH

Runs to 07 June 2015

The popular visitor attraction, the NI Countrysports Fair has confirmed its new home - Scarvagh House (Scarva, Co. Armagh) and will take place on 6th and 7th June 2015.

2015 marks a highly significant milestone for the NI Countrysports Fair.

To reflect the demand for this unique event, and to enable future growth, Event Director, Derek Lutton, has decided to establish the event in this new venue. He commented, “Those who were familiar with the National Countrysports Fair at Moira, will find this is a similarly styled event. Scarvagh House, with its 18th century house and extensive grounds, woodlands and lakes, is the ideal setting for the NI Countrysports Fair.”

The Ulster Scots Agency will be providing entertainment at the Agency marquee with performances from Risin' Stour, the Down and Out Bluegrass Band, Chanter and Cup O'Joe with dancing provided by the Michelle Johnston School of Dance.

Just two miles from the A1 carriageway at Loughbrickland, the venue has a superb central location with easy access from the main arterial routes. You can expect to find all the usual game fair activities going on, including: clay pigeon shooting, spaniel & retriever tests, fly tying and casting, lurcher & terrier events (qualifier for the Midland Game Fair), archery, air rifle shooting and a brand new set of equestrian events that this year will act as a qualifier for the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS.

There will be a superb range of trade stands including country lifestyle, country clothing and accessories, artisan food & produce and crafts and rural life displays. “This is a day for all the family, with all ages catered for in our have-a-go activities, such as our ever-popular pet shows. We have a dedicated family area and there is something for everyone in our action-packed two-day main arena programme. We hope to see you there!” Derek added.

Children under 12 attend free.  Free car parking.
