Trends & Debates Stage
BACK by popular demand - one of our most loved delegate experiences – the Feather and Fur demo stage returns. During this unique opportunity you will experience hanging, skinning and
butchery of all kinds by our game experts. They will show and explain to you how to bring out the best in
your game, teaching you a number of skills on the way. We’re also adding other wild food demos to this stage that you can find in mother nature’s larder.
