Dick will showcase his culinary skills with a game cookery demonstration in the BASC Wild Food Kitchen Theatre sponsored by Global Knives, providing attendees with a chance to see the artistry of cooking with wild food and be inspired to try something new. The pair will also feature on the Carter Jonas Game Fair Theatre stage.
Angel Strawbridge said:
"The Game Fair is such a special celebration of the countryside, food and family, so we're thrilled to be hosting the VIP Enclosure again this summer. We can't wait to share some of our favourite game-inspired recipes, meet visitors, and enjoy a fabulous family weekend with Arthur and Dorothy,"
Additionally, TV's favourite bartender and rural pub owner, Merlin Griffiths will be present throughout the entire weekend. Visitors can join Merlin for cocktail-making masterclasses in the BASC Wild Food Kitchen Theatre sponsored by Global Knives or enjoy an exclusive 2026 signature cocktail served by Merlin himself behind the VIP bar.
The Game Fair 2026 is the largest event of its kind in the world, offering a comprehensive showcase of rural life.
