Crepe Britain
Rita’s Pizza
UK Bratwurst Co
Duncroft Preserves Hampshire Gluten Free Company
Handmade Cornish Pasties
Beckford’s Rum Spirits
Back in Regency Britain rum and toffee were two of the nation’s favourite treats, enjoyed by all classes. This long-forgotten recipe combines these two delicious flavours, which both originate from the same plant, into a taste sensation! To be enjoyed simply over ice, or ice cream, or mixing into your new favourite cocktail nothing comes close.
Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks
Dampney’s Remarkable Drinks started as a germ of an idea in the summer of 2015. After two years of development, our first range of drinks was launched in 2017.
The Dampney family have been sharing their hipflasks of homemade sloe gin for generations and it was time for a little experimentation. Why not try some other fruits using the same method? Dan Tanner’s ‘Pick your own’ farm at Sopley in the New Forest was on the doorstep and Dan was happy to supply surplus fruit, so the trials began. The only problem being that the fruit we were using had previously been fed as a treat to Dan’s red deer. Unfortunately for them, they are now on reduced rations!
Come and have a go at air rifle shooting – a really fun way to test your marksmanship skills that anyone, no matter what their age, can take part in and enjoy!

We are delighted to welcome this year The Working Clumber Spaniel Society – please come and meet the team at The CA tent.
The Working Clumber Spaniel Society was formed in 1984 by a group of enthusiasts keen to restore the breed to a position of respect in the shooting field. Over 30 years of selective breeding, training and focus has produced the modern working Clumber which now closely resembles the original agile sporting spaniel prized by the Victorian sportsmen for their outstanding scenting abilities and tireless work rate.
Growing to over 400 enthusiastic members, the Society is very active. A packed programme sees field training, working tests, field trials, game fair appearances and some fabulous shooting days. The dedicated work of the Society is now bearing fruit for the breed which is increasingly being seen on shooting fields being worked confidently alongside springer and cocker spaniels.
With special thanks to Gamekeeper Goods who have donated some fabulous generous prizes for the scurry, and Skinner’s for their generous voucher donations and BASC for sponsoring rosettes.
