Unfortunately, the unpredictable British weather meant that the Summer Fayre didn’t happen in 2025.
It’s the announcement we never want to make. And we knew that residents would be just as disappointed as we were. Come rain or shine, we always try to press ahead. However, on the previous day, the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning of thunder storms, meaning it wouldn’t have been safe or responsible to bring people together on the green.
Almost six months of preparation goes into organising the fayre, including coordination with the council, emergency services, stall holders, and local schools, so cancellation is always a last resort, and a very expensive one at that.
It’s also disappointing for the stallholders who were looking forward to attending. Instead, we encouraged people to support our local pubs, cafes and shops on Saturday; many of whom would normally do great business on fayre day.
