Win a family ticket to the East Anglian Game and Country Fair
The East Anglian Game & Country Fair will take place on Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th April 2016, at The Norfolk Showground, Norwich. There will be lots of new displays including The Royal Signals White Helmets, a team of 25 serving soldiers from the Royal Corps of Signals. The display is a mixture of unique feats of balance, skill and co-ordination with high-impact speed cross-over rides. A fire jump, quad jump and reverse riders all make up a stunning main arena display.
There is also Norfolk-based New Zealander Richard Savory’s mobile sheep show. If you haven’t seen the show yet, it is both entertaining and educational, looking at sheep breeds and shearing, along with excellent equestrian displays and workshops.
There is fantastic line-up of more free events to watch in the Main and Countryside Arenas, including 6 times FITASC Sporting World Champion, European Champion and English Open Champion John Bidwell performing his world famous off the hip trick shooting.

Norwich Vikings Trials Motorcycle Display will have a range of riders from those on modern bikes to those who prefer the classic bike and classes for all abilities, and the game fair country kitchen has a great new line up with a variety of cookery workshops and demonstrations taking place over the weekend from a selection of local chefs.
