Bishop’s Cleeve Street Fair

8 June 2008 – Bishop’s Cleeve

Bishops Cleeve 1940's Street Fair by John Bourton

This year Bishop’s Cleeve will hold its fourth Street Fair held in the heart of the village (or are we a town?). Whether you are a newcomer to the area or have lived here for some time we hope you will enjoy the many attractions we have arranged this year.

Once again the length of Church Road will be packed with stalls, entertainment and refreshments, as well as the traditional fair ground rides, plus the popular climbing wall and a simulator. At the Church there will be refreshments available and an exhibition of 1940's photographs. At the Tithe Barn car park there will be a return visit of the "Fun Dog Show", so if you own a dog bring them along and enter in one or more of the many classes. There will also be mouth-watering refreshments in the Tithe Barn provided by Home Flair Catering.

Across the road in the grounds of Cleeve Hall, there will be a collection of classic, vintage cars and tractors. This year to match our theme, there will be a number of 1940's military vehicles stationed around the village. If you have a vehicle you would like to display contact Ken on 01242 673914 or email: kenwedley@aol.com.

Have a go in the raffle, with a star prize is £100 cash (donated by Badham Pharmacy). There are also several other excellent prizes to be won donated by local businesses. It promises to be an exciting day with plenty to do and see. So why not enter into our 1940's theme, and come along in costume and join in with the community spirit and support the village and the local charities which will benefit. With your help, we hope to provide donations to the following causes or organisations: The British Legion; Tithe Barn, Gloucestershire Flood Relief, Denley Hall, Orchard House, Shipway Court, Air Ambulance and the Christmas Lights. So the more you spend the more we can donate.
