The Welsh Game Fair is set to open its doors this weekend at Pembrey Country Park.
Following its resounding success the last two years some 20,000 plus visitors from across the UK and beyond are expected to turn out on Saturday and Sunday possibly making it bigger and better than last year.
Considered by many as the pinnacle of the countryside events in Wales, the fair will delight adults and children alike providing shopping opportunities with hundreds of trade stands, craft marquees and a food hall.
By popular demand The Jason Smythe Adrenaline Tour is back and includes hair raising quad freestyle jumps 30FT in the air. Also returning is Dingle Fingle comedy act and his mad cap stunt clowns.
New for 2016 will be the appearance of the Wales Gundog Team, who will provide twice daily demonstrations with their respective top class canines.
In addition there is a whole host of other activities for the whole family. Air gun archery and catapult ranges, fishing, ferrets, hawks and fun fair.
