As the annual meeting place for the airgun community, the Midland Game Fair has always remained true to its roots, with Airgun Expo very much at the heart of the event. This year sees another major development with the relocation of Airgun Expo, which now takes centre stage within the new ‘Festival of Shooting’.

You can try out all of the latest models from the leading manufacturers on their own dedicated ranges, located adjacent to their exhibition stands packed with all of their latest products with experts on hand for any advice you may need. Brands in attendance this year include: Air Arms, Brocock, BSA, Crosman, Daystate, Gamo, FX, Umarex and Walther. Once you’ve decided which rifle is right for you, pick up all of your essential equipment from some of the UK’s leading specialist retailers.

Want to get involved?
The BASC will be offering a comprehensive airgun coaching programme, and have-a-go opportunities for all abilities, from the complete novice, right up to experienced shots looking to brush up on their skills. If you’ve been thinking about trying something different, ‘The Air Arms Experience’ will allow you to try your hand at a number of different airgun disciplines, including hunter field target, target sprint, field target, pistol and much more, all supported by experienced coaches and competitors.
Are you an elite airgun competitor?
For those at the pinnacle of airgun target sport, the Midland Game Fair is also proud to be home to the 27th European Field Target Championships. Hosted over both days of the event, 160 competitors from across Europe and beyond, battle it out over two courses set to the BFTA Main Shoot rules. Renowned across the globe for the high level of competition, the ‘Euros’ are widely considered to be the premier FT championships outside the World’s.

The Midland Game Fair offers a great day out for the whole family; over 700 exhibition stands, full Main Arena programme, Festival of Country Food, Fishing Village, Falconry Festival, Working Dog Village, craft and antique fairs, and much, much more.
