Chairman’s Welcome
Dear Friends,
Welcome to this year’s Rowlands Castle Village Fair, taking place on Saturday 5th July! Once again, we are looking forward to a fantastic day out for all the family and friends — a true highlight in our village calendar.
Our Fair remains proudly non-profit, with all proceeds going towards local village causes. Thanks to your ongoing support, we’re able to make a real difference to our wonderful community.
We are delighted that Henry Adams Estate Agents have returned as our main sponsor for the second year running, and we extend our sincere thanks for their generous support.
This year promises plenty to see and do:
- Lots of craft stalls featuring local produce and handmade goods.
- Fairground rides once again heavily subsidised by the committee — still just 50p per ride!
- The much-loved Horticultural Show is back, bigger and better than ever, with beautiful exhibits from our village’s green-fingered talent in the Parish Hall throughout the day.
- A fantastic raffle competition with great prizes to be won!
- Free live music throughout the day and into the evening.
- Delicious food and drink from our committee-run bar and barbecue, which will be open all day and evening — and which are vital in raising funds for next year’s Fair and our village charities.
- A fun-filled Dog Show, kindly sponsored by St Peter’s Vets.
- Traditional Punch & Judy shows with multiple performances to delight the children (and adults too!).
Please do come along and support us — it’s the biggest event in the village year, and we would love to see you there!
Thank you for helping to keep this wonderful tradition alive.
Grahame Morrison
Chairman, Rowlands Castle Village Fair Committee
