District a port of call for travelling fair

-

Last weekend saw the arrival of the Extravagan­za Fair held at Albert Park operating under the Government’s red traffic light system. The Extravagan­za Fair is a unique market that travels nationwide and has free entry. The fair has market stalls, arts and crafts, food, musical entertainm­ent, and kids’ shows, which allow youngsters to get involved and show off their skills.

“Please remember, this is as tough for us as it is for everybody right now — we’re a fun-loving event and we hope in future we become allinclusi­ve again,” says the Extravagan­za Fair website.

It travels around every year from September to April to a town or city near you. The group aims to be a sustainabl­e event using all compostabl­e and recyclable packaging to help reduce waste, working towards a “greener” event.

The next stop for the fair is on the weekend at Claudeland­s Park, Hamilton.
