Ferreting was a traditional country pursuit popular with our ancestors and a route into the countryside for thousands of people in towns. Today the professional ferreter still uses a dog, net and ferret with methods based on those used 100 years ago but the addition of a few modern electronics now aids efficiency.

Simon Whithead of Pakefield Ferrets is one of only a handful of professional ferreters in this country who uses ancient field craft to control rabbits in an environmentally friendly way.

We are pleased to welcome Paddy and the Coursing Crew to this years show.  The crew will be holding a series of competitions for Lurchers and Terriers – professionally judged and prizes for the winners.
