ADVERTISING FEATURE Fun for all the family at Vassall Summer Fayre on June 24

THE Vassall Summer Fayre is back for another day of fun on Saturday June 24.

The Summer Fayre is set to be a jam-packed fun occasion for all ages, with a bouncy castle, face painting and even a Disney Dance performance, which is sure to get everyone tapping their toes! Kids will have plenty of choice for entertainment, as there will also be hair braiding, glitter, sports and drama games and much more.

The event has been running for over a decade, so many locals will be regular attendees of the Fayre.

Last year saw nearly 500 people attending the event, and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever. The Fayre will be taking place come rain, come shine, with a bad weather alternative being held inside the building.

Entry to the Summer Fayre is free, and attendees can expect to browse stalls from local artisans, including jewellery, homeware, wood crafts, clothing and candles.

You’ll be able to enjoy a soundtrack while you shop, as the country band ‘Sweet Surrender’ will be performing at 11.30am.

Many people will also be happy to see an array of familiar Fayre classics such as hook a duck and splat the rat! For all the foodies out there, you’ll be able to choose between a selection of curries, ice creams, cakes and more.

Local community organisations have also been invited to hold stalls at the Fayre, where they’ll be chatting to people about opportunities in the area and letting you know how to get involved.

Repair Café will be setting up shop, so you can even bring your broken clothes, household goods and toys to be repaired, and can pick up newly fixed goodies to take home.

Zoe Williams, Centre and Community Manager at Vassall Centre, said: “We are so excited to invite everyone to the Summer Fayre, it's one of the highlights of our year!

"The Fayre is such a fun, bustling event and it’s particularly lovely to see people of all ages coming together to enjoy themselves.

“The Fayre comes at a great time of change for the Vassall Centre, as we work to develop an agenda of weekly activities in our new community space, as well as one off events to support local projects in the area.

"Working with the Council, we have recently launched the Frome Vale Grassroots Grants Fund which encourages local people to set up a community project, event or group and provides the funding to do so.

"At the Fayre this year, we’re particularly keen to meet people from the area, get their opinions on living in Frome Vale and what they'd like to see developed in the community. Come down and say hello, we'd love to see you there!”

The Vassall Summer Fayre takes place at the Vassall Centre from 11am-2pm on Saturday June 24, with free entry for everyone.
