Midsummer<br />

Fair<br />

1ST-4TH JULY <strong>2021</strong><br />

Wow! What a whirlwind long<br />

weekend! It was a real buzz<br />

<strong>to</strong> see so many beaming faces<br />

walk through the gates – at a safe distance,<br />

of course – <strong>to</strong> get their summer shop on<br />

and catch up with friends and favourite<br />

stallholders. It was refreshing <strong>to</strong> see spirits<br />

undampened by so many months spent<br />

at home and shoppers certainly made<br />

the most of all the fair had <strong>to</strong> offer, from<br />

the tastiest local food and catering <strong>to</strong> the myriad goodies displayed by a<br />

wealth of exhibi<strong>to</strong>rs, both within the tents and across the showground.<br />

After battling the dodgy weather for the first three days, we were<br />

devastated <strong>to</strong> have <strong>to</strong> close the gates <strong>to</strong> visi<strong>to</strong>rs on Sunday, after a very<br />

heavy downpour the previous night. It was so disappointing not <strong>to</strong> be<br />

able <strong>to</strong> open for this extra day, but we hope that all those who were<br />

able <strong>to</strong> attend on previous days had as wonderful a time as we did and<br />

appreciated the taste of normality that we have all craved for so long.<br />

The exhibi<strong>to</strong>rs all worked so hard <strong>to</strong> make their stands as gorgeous as<br />

humanly possible and it was incredibly difficult <strong>to</strong> award this year’s Best Stand<br />

accolade. There was stiff competition from the likes of Odyl, FRP Homes<strong>to</strong>re,<br />

OddBoo, Kagu, No. 3 and Gaby Redman – turn the page <strong>to</strong> see who ended<br />

up taking home the prize of a free stand at the next Midsummer Fair.<br />

The whole fair and magazines teams would like <strong>to</strong> say a massive thank you<br />

<strong>to</strong> everyone who supported our Midsummer Fair. Here’s <strong>to</strong> the next one!<br />
