THIS year’s Tatts 2019 is shaping up to be a brilliant week, combining everything from top class eventing with a huge array of family fun entertainment as well as the hugely popular dog show.

The Country Fair is jam-packed this year and there’s a bigger array of stands than ever, spanning over 2.5 acres with 90 exhibitors in the Shopping Village, offering a big range of clothing including Official Tattersalls merchandise, art, footwear, saddlery, horse accessories and a range of gifts as well as bespoke garden furniture.

The Artisan Marquee brings together local producers and craftsmen and women offering their own unique produce. There is a dedicated Kids Zone with a host of fun fair rides for them to enjoy along with a pet area where they can get up close to all the animals. Pony rides and a novelty dog show will take place in the Connolly’s Red Mills Arena in the middle of the Shopping Village.
