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 £8 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 or pick up a copy – it's not finalised yet but it should be ready in May 2024.
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 bar 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.
Horticulture and Crafts
The H&C schedule isn't ready yet, but it will appear here in early June.
Once you've chosen the classes you'd like to enter, you can enter them online here. Sadly, we're unable to accept any entries other than those entered online.
An email confirmation of your entry will be sent to you automatically and you can amend your entries right up until the deadline, which is 11pm on Wednesday 28th August.
ALL entries to the H&C competitions are FREE!
Get cracking with your art, photography, handicrafts ready for the public to be dazzled by your skills and ingenuity on Saturday 31st August 2024!
You can bring your exhibits up to the Fayre from 8am to 9am on Saturday 31st August. The marquee will close at 9am so that judging for classes A, B, E and H can commence. Please note that ALL exhibits for ALL classes must be set up before 9am, so don't be late! Judging for the other classes will be the same as last year - by tokens awarded by members of the public who will pick their favourite in each class - it was great fun last year, so do join in! Certificates for classes A, B, E and H will be awarded as soon as the judges have completed each class - you'll be able to see who has won what when the Fayre opens. Certificates for the other classes will be awarded from 3 pm.
Please note that exhibits are not to be removed from the marquee until after 4 pm.
