Village Day 2008


STALLS, SIDESHOWS AND RIDES

As usual there will be around 50 stalls selling a variety of crafts, plants and other attractive items. There will again be plenty of Rides for the Children , including the popular swing-boats and big wheel as well as inflatable equipment on which they can tire themselves out! 

The Side-shows include the traditional coconut shy and an opportunity to get rid of your frustrations by smashing some crockery.

FOOD & DRINK

There will be good food and a licensed bar to help you survive the afternoon!  Teas, cakes and sandwiches will be available from the Hall servery and hot dogs and pork baps will be available at the BBQ. Beer and cider will be available from the bar and soft drinks will be available from a number of locations.
