Fayre will be great day out

BIRKDALE Traders are hosting their annual Summer Fayre, on Saturday, August 6 from noon until 5pm.

During the Fayre the village will be a hive of activity with children’s rides, retailers’ stalls and family activities, plus car enthusiasts will be treated to a stunning collection of classic automobiles.

This year Queenscourt Hospice is delighted to have been chosen as the charity to benefit from the event and have been given the opportunity to host a teddy tombola stall.

There will be some fabulous cuddly prizes to win and all the proceeds from the stall will benefit our patients and their families, so please pop along and say hello to our team on the day.

There will be a variety of stalls offering cakes, ice cream and local produce, plus a meat and fish barbecue.

Entertainment will be provided by Voice-Plus Academy of Arts who will be showcasing the talents of some of their students.

Events like this are very important to the local community, providing a great day out for the whole family whilst also giving a local charity the opportunity to raise some much needed funds.

This year Queenscourt Hospice celebrates its Silver Jubilee, 25 years of providing specialist palliative care to our local community. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the past and those who continue to support us, making it possible for us to continue to provide this care completely free of charge.
