Game Fair Attendances - The Lagotto Romagnolo Club of Great Britain

The Game Fair 2026

The Game Fair returns to Ragley Hall, Warwickshire this year from Friday to Sunday, 24-26 July.

We’ll be in the Sporting Dog Pavilion every day – come and meet us and our Lagotto amongst the other minority breeds of gundog. There is a parade of all of the breeds from the Sporting Dog Pavilion scheduled to tae place each day in the Working Dog Ring at 12.00 noon.

On Sunday we have a team taking part in the Minority Breed Gundog Challenge in the Hertford Arena – Retrievers are in the morning with Spaniels (we are classified as a minority breed spaniel for gundog work under the Royal Kennel Club) following around lunch-time/early afternoon. We will have an update on timings on the day even if we are not able to post more information beforehand – find out more from our team on the Lagotto Romagnolo stand in the Sporting Dog Pavilion!

Game Fairs - LRCGB Attendances

We aim to have a Club/Member presence at Game Fairs around the country during the course of the year – specifically at some of the Living Heritage events (www.livingheritagecountryshows.com) and also at the main annual Game Fair (http://thegamefair.org). These events allow us to demonstrate our breed’s working capabilities and they are a great opportunity for anyone wishing to see/meet the minor working breeds (Lagotto Romagnolo included) in one place, both in the working dog pavilions and in a demonstration ring where an overview of each breed is given by the organiser or breed representative.

In the lead-up to each Game Fair where we will be present, detail will be added in the main Events sections and also on our Facebook pages. Very occasionally we are not able to attend due to Shows or Club commitments so if you are particularly interested in seeing Lagotto at a particular event, please check with us or the relevant organisers.

If you have any queries about our Game Fair attendances, please contact Susan Tindall, our Working Sub-Committee Member who coordinates our breed presence at Game Fairs and Country Shows around the country.

We are always looking for Members to help man our Lagotto stand with their dogs. Dogs need to be happy amongst other dogs and with visitors approaching them, and also happy with gunshot and loud noises that can be heard in the minority breed areas on the day. Please contact Susan or ask any of us on the Working Sub-Committee if you have any questions.

Game Fairs through the years

Game Fair attendance is not new to the Club, with Gael Stenton and Ann Kemp attending many a Game Fair in order to increase the breed’s profile especially during its infancy in the UK.
