Adventure area for the whole family: interesting facts, action & hands-on activities

JAGD & HUND attracts annually to Messe Dortmund with a comprehensive range of products, novelties from international exhibitors, but also a varied supporting program. In order to meet the high demands of modern hunters, the fair is constantly evolving. Visitors can therefore expect numerous innovations and extras at JAGD & HUND 2023. So they can look forward to a new stage: in addition to the event space in Hall 3, the action stage in Hall 4, the HORRIDO blogger area in Hall 7 and the WILD FOOD FESTIVAL stage in Hall 8, the trade fair spectrum has been expanded by a lecture stage in Hall 5. In addition, there is a new range of specialist workshops at the exhibition center as well as a hunter’s regulars’ table and meeting place with well-known exhibitors from the hunting industry, who inform the audience about the latest product and exhibitor highlights.

Sought-after contact points at Europe’s largest hunting fair are also the demonstrations of hunting used dogs and birds of prey as well as the off-road vehicle course. But the culinary marketplace – the WILD FOOD FESTIVAL – also invites you to an eventful day at the fair in Dortmund. Gourmets and lovers of good cuisine get their money’s worth here, because they meet star, star and TV chefs in workshops and on stage, who chat from the sewing box and reveal the perfect preparation of venison specialties.
