The CLA Game Fair is for many the highlight of their summer calendar, and here at Hardy & Greys we're looking forward to this year's show more than ever.

The show returns to Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, on the 19^th - 21^st July.

The Fishing Area of the show has a new layout for 2013, meaning visitors get even more from the show experience. One hundred of the leading fishing retailers will be at the show, letting you try before you buy in the rod testing area, learn from the best and get all the advice you need in picking up the latest of kit.

On the Hardy & Greys stand we'll have our own casting area which will give people a chance to have 1:1 time with experienced Hardy staff, as well as a chance to try our latest tackle.

Come along and meet our team who are all experienced anglers and willing to help in any way they can, and in the main grandstand, Howard Croston, Stevie Munn and Ian Gordon will be among those giving demonstrations.

Elsewhere at the show, there is casting tuition from GAIA instructors, and a selection of open competitions where you can put your casting skills to the test against other anglers.

Alongside the fishing is shooting, gun dogs, falconry, ferrets, and equestrian events, as well as a food village, retail stands selling everything from clothing to shot guns, and garden displays from RHS Gold Medal winning nurseries. Truly something for the whole family.
