30th & 31st August 2008 Birr Castle, Co Offaly,
Republic of Ireland
Birr Castle, situated in the centre of Ireland was the location of
some of the most successful game and country fairs in the ROI. In
2007 with the cancellation of the National Country Fair it was decided
that a new sustainable National Irish Game Fair should be staged at
Birr.
To that end Albert and Irene Titterington, from the original Game
Fair organising team (and also organisers of the successful Town
& Country Fairs at Slane Castle, Co Meath) joined up with David
Wilkinson (Director of previous Fairs at Birr, and Markree) and
Philip Lawton (well known for his main arena expertise at quite
a few Fairs in Ireland) to form a "dream" team to launch
a new Irish Game Fair.
The 2007 Fair was a huge success in terms of all of the parameters
of success i.e. a superb venue; superb prizes and competitions;
a good range of trade stands who did unrivalled business and a fantastic
overall attendance. In just one year the Fair delivered a performance
on a par with its partner Fair in Northern Ireland.
The two Fairs reinforced their premier position in the market place
and fully justified their branding as “The Great Game Fairs
of Ireland”.

Quite uniquely these "Great Game Fairs of Ireland" are
supported by the Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine (Ireland's
premier and largest circulation countrysports magazine) and www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com
Ireland's leading hunting, shooting and fishing portal giving exhibitors
the finest promotional package available in Ireland.
