Philleigh Fair is coming!!

The unique event that is Philleigh Country Fair hits the Roseland Peninsula over the next few weeks.  The Fair is held on the Roseland Rugby Club field just outside the rural idyll of Philleigh.  Attracting over a thousand visitors and locals, Philleigh Fair offers a unique evening of entertainment for all to enjoy!


Dog & sheep racing (yup, the latter has to be seen!!) with a betting tote, pony rides, throwing the hay bale, tossing the horse shoe and many many other traditional games take place.  The crowd is kept entertained by the tones of David Wilcox and others commentating on the events.  A BBQ and basic bar provides refreshment.


The finale of the evening is the legendary egg throwing competition where many a grown man has been reduced to a sticky mess of shell and yolk..........
