Torver, Torver, Cumbria(LA21 8AU)
Dogs feature strongly at the Lakeland Country Fair in Torver, near Coniston: there are foxhound, terrier, lurcher and whippet shows, terrier racing and a family dog show. The fair also keeps traditional Cumbrian skills in view, with stick making, swill basket making, fly tying, lacemaking and spinning demonstrated, and sheep clipped by hand in the afternoon. Watch Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling and horn blowing, or cheer on the adult and junior fell races. Children have a bouncy castle, a roundabout and trampolines. Parking is free, and a licensed bar, home-made refreshments and a barbecue keep everyone going, with the Coniston fells as a backdrop.
