Join us for three fantastic days of family fun, live entertainment, and community celebration. Returning by popular demand, this year’s summer fair brings back everything you loved—along with a few fresh surprises—to make it another unforgettable experience.
Showcasing Local Talent (full list HERE):
Explore a wonderful selection of artisan stalls featuring the creativity and craftsmanship of local makers. From beautifully handcrafted gifts to unique, bespoke finds, every piece is made with care and has a story to tell.
We have got a fantastic line up to entertain you this year. Enjoy a full programme of live performances and activities designed to entertain and inspire the whole family, with favourite animal attractions and popular children’s inflatable area, and lots more to come.
Enjoy a delicious range of refreshments — from cool ice creams to sizzling BBQs, don’t forget to try the latest ales and produce made here by the monks.
Plan Ahead: Pre-book your car parking to make arrival on the day smooth and stress-free.
This is more than a summer fair — it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and heritage. We look forward to welcoming you.
