Local businesses prepare for the big countryside eventThousands of people from across Yorkshire are getting ready for The CLA Game Fair, the world's largest countryside event, which takes place at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire on Friday 23 – Sunday 25 July.With up to 140,000 visitors and almost 1,000 exhibitors and attractions expected over the three days, this is the event of the year for anyone and everyone interested in the countryside. Importantly it provides local companies with an international shop window. One such exhibitor in the show's British Food Village is Botham's of Whitby, which supplies cakes, biscuits, fruit bracks and tea breads to shops, garden centres and quality food stores up and down the country. Managing Director Mike Jarman said: "The CLA Game Fair is a fantastic opportunity for family-run firms like ours to showcase our range of products, which are all made here in Yorkshire using the finest locally-sourced ingredients." Also flying the flag for Yorkshire produce at this year's CLA Game Fair are Birchfield Ice Cream, which will be serving up traditional Jersey ice cream and butter from a farm at Summerbridge near Harrogate, and Yoghurt Delights of Scarborough, which makes a range of delicious 97 per cent fat-free frozen yoghurts. Held annually at different prestigious country estates and now in its 52nd year, The CLA Game Fair is firmly established as the leading annual shop window for the countryside. It encompasses all aspects of rural living with exhibitions, features, displays, championships, competitions and almost 1000 exhibitors. The CLA Game Fair presents a unique three days of fantastic entertainment with a multitude of have-a-go opportunities for people of all ages to watch and participate in. Have-a-Go is the theme which runs through out the hundreds of acres where visitors will have the chance to try lots of activities from fishing, clay shooting, archery and 4 x 4 driving to dog training, laser combat, hands on falconry, mountain boarding and quad bikes to name but a few. Add to this mountain boarding, archery, fishing and other major areas such as gundogs, Hooked on Horses and the Totally Food Show, and you have a world class event with something for everyone.
