Show Information

Simon Whitehead’s Pakefield Ferrets will be demonstrating in his own unique manner, the why, what, when, where and how’s of ferreting. During his twice-daily demonstrations, Simon will be showing ferreting in the true sense of the word. The reasons why the ferreter, their ferrets, dog and nets are fast becoming a more sought after figure in the countryside and towns of the UK.

As the team work in a simulated days ferreting, watch in admiration as the bond that unites the ferreter with their dog and ferrets, enables them to become a part of nature, working silently and listen to why it is vital that not only people understand why we ferret but more importantly, get newcomers into the countryside to continue this fine tradition.

Luckily in these modern times, Simon can demonstrate the traditional country skills of ferreting that have survived the growth in technology and with such passion and enthusiasm, Simon shows just why the Pakefield Ferrets motto of "ensuring the tradition of ferreting IS continued for further generations" illustrates how the life of the ferret and rabbit are so deeply entwined.

Complementing his informative, entertaining and educational demonstration is a static display showing a collection of high quality pictures, diagrams, TV screen showing a days ferreting, netting etc and illustrations along with literature highlighting just why ferreting is becoming a more popular and in some area’s essential traditional pastime.
During the show Simon will have a tv screen showing his “Ferret Man” dvd’s, his book "Ferreting for the Future" and the popular lightweight bowback ferret carrying boxes, that will also be for sale on his stand.
