It’s Country Fair time at Thame this Easter as this popular event returns to the Showground on Sunday & Monday April 20th & 21st.
The Thame Country Fair is where the countryside comes to life with some fabulous arena entertainment, lots of Country sports and pursuits to take part in or even try out for the first time. You might want to just meander around the show's various shopping aisles and marquees, looking at a wide range of Country, Craft & Food retailers, maybe finish it off with a refreshing drink or two in one of the food courts with the relaxing atmosphere of live Jazz and Folk.
The show boasts a dynamic programme of entertainment in its two main arenas, with the addition of one or two new faces and acts. This year’s star attraction in the main arena is HOH, a high-performance equestrian stunt riding display team. The newcomers are complemented with all the old favourites: Horse Boarding, Scurry Racing, Falconry, and various dog displays—lots of choices to be made when planning your day out.
Be entertained and enjoy a flutter on the ferret racing—it’s a great bit of fun! Just as your winning ferret starts to appear at the end of the tube, it decides to do a reverse by running the other way, or it may even appear in the next race.
Take the opportunity to enjoy the country sports on offer either as a competitor or letting curiosity get the better of you, and try out fishing, shooting, or even enter with your dog in the various activities in the World of Dogs—there’s gundog scurries, clinic, fun dog show, with endless opportunities.
After all the activities, take some time out to relax in the various food courts listening to live jazz, taste great street food and take home your favourite nibbles from the Food Halls.
It’s all happening at the Thame Country Fair at the Thame Showground, Kingsey Road, Thame OX9 3JL, just follow the AA signs.
Easter Sunday & Monday April 20th & 21st. Open 10am – 6pm.
