    2026 Village Fair magazines now available

    The RCVF Committee is delighted to announce that this year’s Village Fair magazine has rolled off the presses at Bishop’s Printers and will soon be making its way to homes across the village.

    Copies will either be delivered to your door or available to collect from a range of local outlets, including Home Hardware, Londis, The Castle Inn, The Bumblebee Cafe, Halls Garage, Rowlands Castle Pharmacy, Barbers on the Green, The Robin Hood, The Staunton Arms and the local Shell Garage, among others.

    As always the magazine includes entry forms for this year’s Horticultural Show, once again organised by the Rowlands Castle Gardening Club.

    You may also find a flyer titled “Volunteers Needed – Your Fair Needs You”, inviting local residents to lend a hand by giving just a couple of hours of their time to support the fair.

    We’re also launching a photo competition, open both to those with favourite memories and photographs from past fairs, and to visitors capturing the atmosphere on the day itself.

    And finally, don’t forget to mark Saturday 4th July in your diary — we look forward to seeing you there!

    Did you spot the 10 differences?

    In this year’s village fair magazine we published a Spot the 10 differences puzzle.

    The original version of the image was the front cover of the magazine, using the imagery originally created by Nanne Tiggelman from Pixabay.

    The modified version of the front cover contained 10 differences made by our magazine designer Steve.

    Did you spot all ten differences?

    Reveal the 10 differences

    Well, it’s a bit of a giveaway, since you can already see the differences circled. So here they are explained, from top to bottom, left to right.

    1. Added an acute accent over the A of Rowlands: to make it Á
    2. Changed the E in Castle to red, from blue
    3. Date changed to 8th, was 5th
    4. Red flowery splodge removed
    5. Orangey red flower replaced by blue
    6. Musc all day changed to music all evening
    7. Ellipsis ( … ) after do changed to two dots ( .. )
    8. Orangey yellow splodge changed to red splodge with a bit more blue
    9. This year changed to Next year
    10. Capital C of Gardening Club changed to lower case c

    Any other changes weren’t intentional.
