A wonderful day out in a beautiful setting

The Wessex Event Company are delighted to be holding our sixth Summer Fair in the beautiful house and grounds of Canbord School on Saturday and Sunday, August 19 and 20, this year.

Bring the whole family for a fabulous day out, there is something for everyone. After being inspired by more than 100 stands selling a host of artisan foods, crafts, plants and garden accessories, why not chill out in our Street Food Area, where you can enjoy mid-morning snacks, lunches and afternoon treats, including seafood, bratwurst, falafels, Dorset lamb burgers, hot potatoes, pizzas, churros and ice cream, all washed down with coffee, tea, soft drinks or something slightly stronger from the fairs bar.

While you sit and eat and relax you will be entertained by fabulous local artists including Emma Hardy, Rich Austin, Shannon White and Phil Smith.

New this year... will be falconry, Tumble Tots and the Magic Man.

Our children’s entertainments will include rides, games and face painting. We also have a circus skills workshop on both days for children to participate in and learn some of magic of the circus. The cost of entry is just £4 for adults and £3.50 for concessions, with children under 16 free, making this one of the most affordable, family friendly, value for money days out you will find in the area this summer.

So come early, stay late and enjoy a wonderful day out in the most beautiful of settings.

We would like to thank our sponsors the Hendy Group, Meyers Estate Agents Blandford, the Highbrow Group and Holt Recruitment for their support of our events.

White Chocolate and Raspberry Terrine

This is another of my favourite desserts, mainly because it is easier to make and can be kept in the freezer.

You just need to remember to take it out an hour before you want to eat it. Last year, we went up to stay at my stepson’s, while he was away.

He lives in a beautiful house on the outskirts of London.

I always make a lot of chocolate things to take up as his husband loves chocolate.

I made one of these terrines and popped it into their freezer to be eaten at a later date.

When Rich was down here last, staying at his mum’s, he was stung by a bee on his leg.

He didn’t really think much of it and drove home to London.

Later that evening, his leg was really swollen and painful and he ended up in hospital for a day on strong antibiotics. Never one to miss an opportunity to tease, I made some knitted bees to take with me on our weekend away.

I then hide them around his house, without telling him!

When we had left, and they came home, Rich quickly found one and got the joke about being stung!

We didn’t tell him how many others there were and where we had hidden them, but he soon found them all.

The one that surprised him the most was the bee inside the fridge!!

We said that it was just ‘chilling’. He forgave me and enjoyed the raspberry terrine (terrine sounds such a posh word!!)

Ingredients

200g frozen raspberries

125g caster sugar

225g white cooking chocolate

225g cream cheese

300ml double cream

Fresh raspberries, to garnish

Method:

Place 200g of frozen raspberries and 50g of the caster sugar in a saucepan, cover and heat gently.

Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the fruit is beginning to run. Remove from the heat and sieve the raspberries, discarding the seeds.

Melt the chocolate in a large bowl set over a smaller pan of just simmering water, being careful the water does not touch the bowl or chocolate. When melted, set aside to cool slightly.

Soften the cheese with a spoon then mix in the remaining caster sugar. In a separate bowl whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the soft cheese into the cream, followed by the melted chocolate.

Line a 450g (1lb) loaf tin with cling film and pour in half the mixture.

Add the raspberry pulp then top with chocolate mixture. Repeat Freeze for 4 hours then remove and allow to thaw for 30 minutes before serving.
