    This promises to be an excellent afternoon and has been featured in Time Out and Londonist as a top 'thing to do at the weekend'. Come along, buy lovely handmade treasures (and cake), and meet your WI and other local folk. And the raffle prizes are brilliant, local businesses have been incredibly generous. What a splendid place we live in!
  • I'm in Edinburgh for the weekend, but otherwise I'd definitely be there. It sounds like it'll be a great day - good luck with it!
  • Am gutted I will miss it too. I will be in Kerala
  • Talking of cake...there's a very tasty carrot cake in the oven right now!
  • the fair was fab. well done all
  • I was double booked but am told that it was a brilliant, busy day. Detritus had a whale of a time manning the stall for me, thank you to everyone who came and visited to say hello or buy our wares.
