A SAD DAY FOR VILLAGE FAYRE
It is with regret that the organisers of a popular Village Fayre in North Sheffield have to report that it will not be taking place this year.
the decades. An extract from the Bolsterstone Parish Magazine dated 1913 recounts the idyllic scenes of its inaugural gathering:
In an unexpected announcement, the organisers of the cherished Bolsterstone Village Fayre have declared that the event, awaited eagerly each year, will unfortunately not take place this year. The decision has cast a shadow over the community, disrupting a tradition that has been a highlight of the local calendar for decades.
“On Saturday 26th July in glorious weather, a Garden Party was held in the Vicarage grounds. An appeal was made to the ladies of the congregation to take over the responsibility of catering for the guests and very promptly and most generously did they respond, providing a large supply of fruit, flowers and many kinds of eatables which were sold for the benefit of the funds. A tennis match was played in the afternoon and games of bowls, skittles etc. indulged in by the visitors. On all sides could be heard expressions of delight at the success of the venture. It was not too much to say that the greater share in making such a success of the first Garden Party rested with the ladies who worked so splendidly and gave so willingly. It is impossible to say at the moment what the total realised was, but it is hoped that it will reach £10.00.” Cont on next page...
The Bolsterstone Village Fayre is described by organisers as the result of many months of planning and a huge number of volunteers are required to cover the stalls and games. The organisers told Look Local “We know this will be a big disappointment given the popularity and enjoyment the Fayre has given to so many for such a long number of years.” The Fayre, originally a Church Garden Party that began as far back as 1913, has evolved significantly over
