ANNIVERSARY HAILED
AS HUGE SUCCESS Holosun Technologies, a premium
Visitors, exhibitors and sponsors have hailed Th e
Game Fair’s 60th anniversary show at Ragley Hall
in Warwickshire, UK as a roaring success.
Th e changeable weather was masked by
the excitement, joy and community spirit that
encapsulates Th e Game Fair, and it did not deter
countryside enthusiasts from enjoying top-level
shooting and gundog competition fi nals and
everything else the three-day festival of the great
British countryside has to off er. Farmers and
landowners also took a respite from their harvest
and turned up in their thousands.
“It was another superb Game Fair,” said regular
visitor Paul Gerry from Cornwall. “We were
unfortunate with the weather, but I still loved it
and I can’t wait for next year.”
Many of the 800 exhibitors are already
preparing to book their slot for the 2019 event at
Hatfi eld House in Hertfordshire after a successful
weekend showcasing their products in front of so
many people.
Organiser have confi rmed that 113,536 visitors
attended over the three days. Th e event will return
to Ragley Hall in 2020.
Justin Urquhart Stewart, the co-founder
of sponsor Seven Investment Management,
commented: “We have had a great weekend at Th e
Game Fair. Being able to meet so many people

Th e managing director of gunmaker Holland
and Holland, Daryl Greatrex, said: “It was a very
well-attended and a huge success, despite the
uncooperative weather.”
James Gower, managing director of Th e Game
Fair, added: “It has been an absolute pleasure to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of Th e Game Fair
with old friends and new. Highlights for me were
the Twinning ceremony between Th e Game Fair
and Katara International Festival of Hunting
and Falcons, breakfasts with Historic Houses
and Seven Investment Management, incredible
displays in the Brewin Dolphin Main Arena –
including the Red Devils, who helped us to open
the show.
“Above all the most enjoyment comes from
working with an extraordinary community, a
herculean team, Lord Hertford and the Ragley
Hall estate team and everyone who makes the
event possible, including our treasured sponsors
and corporate partners, which I would like to
personally thank. We will now enter a period of
