Summer Fayre, Sunday 25th June 2023

We will have our summer fayre this year on Sunday 25th June 2023, 10.30am to 2pm. Come along and spend time in the sun (hopefully), enjoy a delicious BBQ and have fun at the many stalls we offer.

To all bakers and cake makers out there: please bring your goodies to stock our cake stall to the church either on Saturday between 10am and 1.20pm, or on the morning of the fayre.

All other donations can be brought to the Parish Office during the week (Tuesdays to Fridays). We need bottles for the bottle tombola, please.

All previous stallholders are asked to contact the Parish Office asap if they would like to again help out on a stall. We are also looking for volunteers who can help to sort the donations on Saturday 24th June, 1pm to 3pm in the hall, set up on the morning of the Fayre from 8.30am and help to clear up at the end.
Please let the Parish Office know if you can help. Thanks
