About the Fayre
Welcome to the Corsley Fayre! We had such lovely feedback from the last two Fayres and are jolly pleased that we'll be putting on another one this year! It's a really fun afternoon for all the family, so do come along and join in!
This year, to cover some of our costs, entry to the Fayre will be £7 per car. The ticket you'll receive doubles up as a raffle ticket - fill in the ticket and deposit it at the Control Centre to be in with a chance of winning some absolutely cracking prizes - more details of prizes will appear here soon. You must be over 18 to enter the raffle
Entries for the Horticulture and Crafts competitions are FREE for everyone. We would like encourage everyone to enter the classes in the Horticulture and Crafts competition - it doesn't matter if you don't live in Corsley! You can download the schedule here or pick up a copy – we'll put a list of locations where you can get one here soon.
Corsley WI are continuing their fabulous tea tent and there’ll lots of activities for the kids – races and the ever-popular inflatables! We'll also have a proper bar run by Jack at the Cross Keys, Corsley to slate your thirst, skittles to test your bowling skills and archery for all ages.
Volunteer to help out
If you fancy volunteering, please do get in contact – we’d love to have you on board. Here's a list of jobs you can sign up to – from helping out on the day, to helping set up (on Friday) or take down (on Sunday).
Setup/takedown – do you have some time (a couple of hours) to spare before the day of the Fayre to help us set everything up, or to help take it all down on Sunday?
On-Site Stewards – could you help out for up to a couple of hours (or more if you'd like to!) on the day of the Fayre?
Car Parking Marshalls – on the day of the Fayre, we'll need some help directing traffic on the field and making sure everyone parks in the right area!
If you'd like to help us out, please email help@corsleyfayre.org.uk – we're looking forward to hearing from you!
Accessibility
The Fayre is accessible to everyone, but please do bear in mind that it is held on a field. There's an area for disabled parking and a toilet for disabled visitors too.
