The North Wales Country Fair is a two-day event held in Bala in June, celebrating the rural life of the area with stalls selling both local produce and freshly prepared hot meals, and a diverse programme of country activities, such as flycasting, archery, pigeon shooting, falconry, wood carving, ferret racing and more.

How to survive the flight to Bala?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Bala escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bala?
Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Bala quick and painless. We’ve compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
