Grab your bucket and spade this coming Bank Holiday as the two-day Our Bury St Edmunds Spring Fayre welcomes back one of its best loved highlights.
There’s no need to sit in traffic heading towards the coast – just make your way to the town centre and Cornhill for the urban beach with Punch and Judy and many other attractions at this free-admission event.
Organised by Our Bury St Edmunds Business Improvement District (BID) and with a traditional focus on flowers, plants and crafts, this annual Fayre offers something different every year for visitors.
With the recent commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the Suffolk Regiment Museum will be participating in the fayre and it’s also the last week of the Our Bury St Edmunds VE Day Trail in the town centre.
Chief executive of Our Bury St Edmunds BID, Mark Cordell, said: “The Spring Fayre has been established in different guises for more than 25 years in the town centre and continues to be one of the most popular events here.
“It’s wonderful that Bury in Bloom, who work so hard for the town, are joining us at the fayre this year.
“There are so many stalls to enjoy and free activities but also all the businesses who are part of our town centre all year round.
“A number of those will be joining in with the event including Meat and Greet, Cookie Barista, Beautiful Beers and Papaki’s Deli – and as Suffolk’s foodie capital there’ll be no shortage of places to enjoy something to eat or drink over the two days of the fayre.”
The Spring Fayre will also have numerous stalls across the town centre and Angel Hill, focussing on flowers, plants, crafts and food as well as a vintage market area.
Astronomy workshops, face painting and mini golf are among the free activities.
The carousel will also be returning to the Arc Shopping Centre and there will be a number of other fairground rides at the event too.
Admission to the Our Bury St Edmunds Spring Fayre is free and it runs from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, May 25, and Bank Holiday Monday, May 26.
