Stamford Garden and Food Fair to take place this weekend

Thursday, 6 May 2021 10:09

Now in its 9th year, the Stamford Garden and Food Fair is all set for Sunday 9th May at Stamford Welland Academy.

The Stamford Garden and Food Fair, organised by the Rotary Club of Stamford St Martins, has been a regular attraction to both local residents and visitors for nine years now. Due to the national lockdown, last year’s event was sadly cancelled, however it is now full steam ahead with only a few days to go until this year’s fair. Organisers stress that while accessibility to the fair for the wider community is a priority, it is also important as it reaches out to the local stallholders who only do events like this. For this year it is being held at Stamford Welland Academy, as events are not being held on the Meadows yet.

The fair currently has over 30 stalls attending, covering garden wares, food, crafts and rides. It is free to enter and will take place on Sunday 9^th May between 10am and 4pm. For more information see the Stamford Garden and Food Fair Facebook page.
