Wivenhoe May Fair 2009
Monday 25th May 2009
The Wivenhoe May Fair 2009 will be held on Monday 25th May – the last bank holiday in May. Christmas hangovers are shaken off, tarps shaken out and the May Fair Committee again congregate as preparations are made for this year’s event. We will keep you posted here as line-ups and attractions are finalised.
As always, all profits will be donated to local and international charities. In the meantime, we may have to do a little early fundraising to help cover our initial costs. The May Fair is a community event, so anyone who would like to help out in any capacity can get in touch via [email protected] .
