Summer & Vintage Fair

Saturday 7 June, 11am - 4pm

As part of the College's Summer Fair - a celebration day of Bridgwater College student success - the Walled Gardens will be open to visitors for FREE, and will be holding a Vintage & Handmade Fair - with a vintage bus ready to take you to and from the fun of the Summer Fair to the Gardens.

The Vintage & Handmade Fair will have a 1940s theme, with forty vintage and handmade sellers, including PMP Studios and their 1940s theme pop-up photo studio. The Gardens’ Tea Room, Ice and Slice Belles (vintage caravan) and the Blue Can Cafe will have lovely food and drink for sale.

There will be a Knit and Natter tent - a drop in tent for people to learn to knit (needles and wool provided). They will be selling white and red poppies, with the funds going to the War Hero Charity.

Cybil's Vintage Hire will be doing displays, with one entitled, ‘What a home was like during the war and how families and soldiers coped when they came home’, and there will be a re-enactment of the Home Guard with, full uniform, period bike and tent.

Children’s activities will include hook a duck, tin can alley, ring over the bottle, teddy bear tombola, lucky dip, and vintage games.

Live music will be provided by Ruishton Small Big Band, and with free entry, it promises to be a wonderful day out!

The Vintage & Handmade Fair is being organised by Dee Dee's - see her Facebook page here.

So visit the Gardens for FREE on this day to join in the fun and festivities! And with more and more colour bursting into life every day in the Gardens, they too are a treasure not to be missed.

The Summer Fair, being held at the College's Cannington Centre, will be holding demonstrations and activities for all ages, including:
