Confirmed 2025 attractions
COMPETITIONS
There will not be any competitions this year other than the dog show. This was a very difficult decision to make. The decision was made due to the lack of entries, costs and resource. We will consider again for 2026 and we welcome any feedback or help that you can offer.
STALLS
Over 50 stalls offering high quality local crafts, entertainment and local information. Why not treat yourself to something a little bit different and not available in the high street.
EATING AND DRINKING
What afternoon would be complete without quality coffee and tea from Busy Bee and Coffee Cycle accompanied by delicious scones from the WI? Alternatively, treat yourself to a premium G&T by Arundel Gin for those seeking something a little stronger. If you are a bit peckish then there will be a fabulous BBQ by the Cricket Pavillion, where the bar will be open for a tipple or two. There will also be a wide variety of outlets selling hot and cold food and drink aswell as savoury snacks and sweet treats. There will also be gluten free and vegan options available. Knight’s ice cream van will of course be there as always!
