Pickering Game & Country Fair

CELEBRITY CHEFS SET TO BE STAR ATTRACTION AT PICKERING SHOWGROUND’S GAME & COUNTRY FAIR

 

Internationally renowned chefs Antony Worrall Thompson and Aldo Zilli will be the stars of the show at Pickering Showground’s annual Game and Country Fair.

 

The Northern Events Arena, one mile south of the town of Pickering, North Yorkshire, is hosting the fair, which is in its 5th year on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 May.

 

Thousands of people are expected to flock to the event which offers a vast array of attractions with something to please the whole family and keep everyone amused.

 

On Saturday Antony Worrall Thompson will prepare tantalizing meals in three cookery demonstrations throughout the day. Antony will be given a helping hand by fellow celebrity chef James Martin’s mentor Ken Allanson and Alan Ellis from County Durham game supplier’s Rushyford Game.

 

While on Sunday it will be the turn of Aldo Zilli, the charismatic Italian restraunter and ITV1 Celebrity Fit Club star who will be getting his creative juices flowing to tickle people’s taste buds. He will be assisted by Andrew Pern, the head chef at the Michelin starred restaurant, the Star Inn at Harome near Helmsley, with more help from Alan Ellis.

 

An enormous food hall selling an array of the best produce and products from the Yorkshire region as well as delicacies from the rest of the country completes the line up for this huge festival of food.

 

But Pickering Game and Country Fair is not just a feast for the stomach, it will but a feast for people’s eyes too.

 

A packed arena programme will begin at 10am featuring a sheepdog display, gundog demonstration, falconry displays, heavy horse demonstrations and Mounted Games Association displays to name just a few.

 

Also on offer will be the chance to try your hand at archery, see birds of prey, watch a sheep shearing show, vintage tractors, rural crafts and demonstrations of stick making and willow weaving.

 

There will be hundreds of trade stands, a large craft marquee a vintage fairground to keep the young and young at heart entertained, a licensed bar and plenty of catering outlets too.

 

The Mounted Games Association, a fast moving and action-packed equestrian relay competition, will be holding their Home International Championship over the weekend at the showground with teams taking part representing Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, North of England and South of England. Local girl Melanie Ardern, who is a member of the Yorkshire team, will be representing the North of England in the challenge as they attempt to scoop the title for the fifth year in a row.

 

An added attraction for this year will be a Shire Horse Show taking place on Saturday. The event will be open to any heavy breed and is being sponsored by Sheffield based transport Engineers, A.Couldwell & Sons. Prize money and rosettes will be presented at 4pm.

 

A national clay pigeon shooting competition and air rifle competition will be taking place and people will also be able to have a go at various challenges from each discipline from beginners to expert levels.

 

Watch the terriers, lurchers and ferrets race to the finish line at races in the morning and afternoon. Entries can be made on the day so why not bring along your furry friends to compete.

 

On the banks of the showground’s own lake, Roy Baker will be giving fly casting tuition or

 why not watch the fast-moving Gundog Scurry Championship.

 

Whether it’s a specialist interest you have or simply fancy a day out with something for  young and old alike, a visit to the Pickering Game and Country Fair 2008 is not to be missed.

Pickering Folk Festival Launched

The Events Office of Pickering will be staging their own first ever major music festival when the Pickering Folk Festival takes place on the showground during the weekend of August 8th, 9th and 10th of this year. Forty acts will be performing on two stages including major headliners for each of the three days. There will be many other events taking place including children's entertainment, circus skills workshops, face painting, ceilidhs and morris dancing. As well as a large trade and craft fair there will be a host of catering options to suit most tastes. The local Cropton Brewery will be hosting festival goers in the beer tent where additional performance will also take place by some of the funniest people on the folk scene including the inimitable Les Barker.

 

The music itself is of the highest quality and features some of the most talented and well known names in the world of folk music. Names such as Cara Dillon, Luka Bloom, Coope Boyes & Simpson, Last Night's Fun and Johnny Dickinson will be appearing over the weekend. North Yorkshire too is strongly represented with local acts Eliza Carthy Band, Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick and Steve Phillips & The Rough Diamonds  all securing prime spots on the main stage. But the real coup for The Events Office was to be able to put number one chart toppers The Waterboys, Eddi Reader and Nizlopi at the top of the bill on each day.

 

Now in their silver jubilee year, The Waterboys have been at the forefront of many styles of music over the years thanks to the ever changing mood of their perenial front man Mike Scott. From the huge stadium rock sound of their best selling 1985 album This Is The Sea to their dalliance with Irish traditional music on the album Fisherman's Blues, Mike Scott has kept the band at the top of their game with floods of new fans hooking up every year. Most people will know the classics The Whole Of The Moon and Fisherman's Blues but with a wealth of material to call upon from his thirteen studio albums, Scott will have no problem keeping punters rocking in the aisles on the Friday night.

 

A more sedate affair can be expected on Saturday evening when Eddi Reader takes centre stage with her band of talented musicians. Best known in her early days for being lead singer with Fairground Attraction and their number one single Perfect, Reader has matured into one of the most beautiful singers in Britain today. Her most recent album Peacetime bears this out.

 

The closing act sees Nizlopi headlining the main stage at the festival. Famous for their 2005 number one single The JCB song, these two lads proved that you don't have to belong to one of the majors to be able to crack the charts as sales reached 400,000 in Britain and Ireland alone. The JCB song was a great song but Luke Concannon and John Parker are about so much more than a novelty song at Christmas. Soulful vocals, superb guitar and double bass playing and the odd human beatbox thrown in is guaranteed to keep everyone happy for an hour and a half on the Sunday evening.

 

Pickering Folk Festival will bring thousands of visitors to the town over the weekend and will put the Pickering Showground on the map as a serious music venue. Local businesses in Pickering and Malton will benefit from the extra trade and local people will be able to enjoy a weekend of quality entertainment. A variety of ticket options are available depending on your needs. Full weekend season tickets are the best option as, besides the level of entertainment, you'll be able to camp out too and have your own little holiday without leaving the town. If watching concerts is not your thing then you'll be able to go along to the showground on Saturday and Sunday and enjoy all the other events going on for a small entrance fee at the gate. Simon Boak of The Events Office said "We are very pleased to be able to offer such a high level of entertainment to the people of Pickering and to be able to help local commerce at the same time. We're sure that local people will support the weekend and come along to enjoy the family atmosphere and the wonderful music".
