WHM Pet Group invites retailers to Country Fair

 

WHM Pet Group is celebrating the first PATS Sandown exhibition in over two years by inviting buyers to a Country Fair at the ‘WHM Pet Group Lounge’ in the Surrey Hall.

 

The Country Fair will feature traditional fair favourites, including fun games, competitions, and even farmyard animals. As well as some lighthearted fun, some serious subjects will also be addressed by the WHM Pet ‘Woodstock Warriors’ who will be promoting sustainability.

 

Country Fair Highlights

WHM Pets’ brands will be at the centre of all the buzz at the Fair, with ‘Best in Show’ recommendations featured throughout the two days. The team will also be educating visitors about all things small animals and how the Marriage’s Feed brand can help across many categories with their Poultry, Organics, Smallholding, Racing Pigeon and Small Animal feeds.

 

Wild bird care brands RSPB, Berry Ingredients and Honeyfield’s will also be showcased. Honeyfield’s is a brand committed to innovation and this includes how the product is packaged. In 2021, it became the first wild bird care brand in the UK to use biodegradable and fully recycled plastic in their packaging. 

 

There are new products on offer at the Fair, such as the new Honeyfield’s 50 Fat Ball Box. These fat balls have no nasty fillers, have wholesome natural ingredients, and added seed for improved palatability. The packaging also follows suit with its cardboard packaging being 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable.

 

Games & Refreshments

The challenge awaits at the ‘Fat Ball Shy’ where the quality of these fat balls can be put to the test. Honeyfield’s fat balls have a softer texture due to the natural ingredients, whereas other fat ball brands can be harder due to unnatural fillers and limestone. Here visitors can see which fat balls in the market are unfortunately capable of knocking down the coconuts due to their hardness!

Other games on offer include ‘Ring Toss’ for a chance to win bags of food and ‘Hook-a-Duck’ where you can win the best in local wines and easter treats! 

 

All the fun and games will make for thirsty work, but rest assured, there is a resting place for refreshments. The ‘Haystack’ bar will be conveniently situated in the fair grounds. Exhibitors who receive a free coffee/tea voucher from PATS can also redeem this free drink at the bar at any time of the show.
