We have so many things planned for all of our supporters to enjoy at the Summer Fayre…
Our Summer Fayre will begin with a big parade throughout the streets of Oldswinford and we would love for our supporters to line the streets to watch our parade.
We will start at the Crabmill pub and go down on to Swinford Road, then left on to Love Lane, left again on to Oakleigh Road then right onto Hagley Road and into the Hospice to officially open our Summer Fayre at 11am. If you live along one of these roads, we would love for you to come outside and cheer on our parade!
So while you are here, why not sit down to enjoy a Punch and Judy Show after grabbing an ice cream from our brand new Ice Cream Parlour. You could have a browse for some new clothes from our Ladies Boutique Fashion Stall and if you do get peckish, our BBQ will be fired up all day for you to enjoy. The main stage at the Fayre is being hosted all day by volunteers from popular radio show, Black Country Radio who will keep you entertained and make sure you’re not missing any of the fun we have planned.
We will also have a variety of traditional carnival games for you to enjoy, such as: Tin Can Alley, Hook a Duck and a Dartboard Football game.
There will also be lots of tombola stalls on the day from drinks to toiletries, alongside a to stall to grab some new toys for the little ones from.
All of our business sponsors for the Summer Fayre will also be holding a stall at the Summer Fayre for you to browse.
We really have organised something for everyone to enjoy. Take a look below at the various activities you are able to book at the Summer Fayre.
