Make a date for countryside fun on Bank Holiday Monday, August 28, at Cresselly Country House. There will be classic cars and pony rides, stalls by favourite charities and interesting retailers, presented with lashings of smiles and wagging tails.

Delicious homemade cream teas and a tasty BBQ will fuel your busy afternoon, and there’s a bar tent too.

Set on the lovely lawns of Cresselly House, with games to play, including supervised pony rides, you won’t hear youngsters complaining of being bored.

If you fancy a peek indoors, Cresselly House will be open for house tours, costing £4 per person (available for over 12s only).

The Cresselly Country House Fayre includes hugely popular doggy activities and is a must for dog-lovers, with or without their canine friends. The dog show is for posh pets and common pooches, with classes for sporting dogs, non-sporting dogs and novelty classes (which include a best fancy dress class). Classes start around 1 pm.

It’s down to the race track from about 3 pm. Terrier and lurcher/long dog racing have become the highlight of the Cresselly Country House Fayre and every year brings roars of laughter from onlookers. It’s a must-see local tradition.

Races will be based on size, so register your pet and have him measured before the first race.

A more recent attraction is the superb display of classic cars. Come and see the marvellous Morgans, lovely Lotuses and charismatic Cobra!

Entry to the fayre is £2 per person, with under 12s free, and there’s plentiful parking free. Doggy fixtures cost £1 per entry. Gates open at 12 noon. You’ll find Cresselly House on the A4075 between Oakwood and Carew in Pembrokeshire - set your sat-nav for SA68 0SP.
