Summer Fayre

Save the date... Our annual Summer Fayre returns!

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside… join us in the grounds of the Hospice in true British Summer Holiday style!

Calling all parents and children alike, this event will be a family extravaganza you won’t want to miss! The day will be packed with activities, stalls and fabulous entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

We’ll be kicking off the day with our famous parade, filling the streets of Oldswinford with a stream of vehicles, classic cars, floats and Hospice supporters to officially open the Fayre. There is something for the whole family!

As always, we will be firing up the Black Country famous BBQ and sweet treats will keep you fuelled all day too. We have lined up live entertainment throughout the day and ensure the stage is filled with local talent, making it the perfect way to savour the last moments of the Summer holidays.

Our much-loved Dog Show will make a grand return, showcasing the cutest, most talented, and waggiest tails in our community. Prepare for some heart-melting moments as our fluffy companions strut their stuff!

Music, laughter, and fun will fill the air as we celebrate the end of the Summer holidays together and raise much-needed funds for The Mary Stevens Hospice.
