Chairman’s Welcome

Dear Friends,

This year’s fair is on Saturday the 4th of July and will be even better. Sponsored again by Henry Adams Estate Agents, we have a great day and evening arranged for the whole village to enjoy.

During the day we have the funfair, with rides subsidised by Quay Building Services, an all‑day bar, a dog show, Punch & Judy shows, Morris dancing and loads of local stallholders selling all kinds of interesting things. Everyone is welcome.

The Horticultural Show in the Parish Hall is sponsored this year by Blendworth Hills Inspired Villages and has new, exciting categories to enter—check them out in the Fair magazine, freely distributed well ahead of the day.

Food is always important and this year, as well as the local volunteer BBQ during the day, we will also serve paella—which was a huge hit last year—and Monday’s pizza van will attend in the evening.

Throughout the day, of course, there is free, live music—and do we have some great bands this year! Forever Queen headline with a brilliant intro by the likes of Marley Blandford, AstroModa, Alice Milburn and other acts, as always kicked off by the Blendworth Brass Band.

So please do come along for a wonderful day for all the family.

The fair is organised and run by village volunteers and all the money raised goes to local causes. We are always stretched in the run‑up to and on the day itself, so all offers of help are gratefully received.
