Summer Fair

 

 

Summer Fair and Party in the Park 2025

In 2025 we extended the Summer Fair to two days, Friday 20th June and Saturday 21st June.  On the Friday we had and evening of music, food, funfair and a bar.  On the Saturday we had the daytime event followed by the evening Party in the Park.

What an amazing weeknd it was, the sun was shining, and it was great to see so many people.  We had around 2,500 people on the Saturday and a couple of hundred on the Friday.   Lots to do and see, from the numerous stalls, games, funfair, children’s races, classic cars, vintage bus,  miniature railway, entertainment, food and drink.

On the Friday evening we had 'Posted Notes', a rock, pop and indies cover band.  A brilliant way to kick of the weekend.

The entertainment for the Summer Fair, was kicked off by the Ministry of Ukes, who are from Waddington..  Then we had the Waddington Military Wives Choir singing a selection of various songs.  Daryl Smith then sang a selection of songs, before the Ministry of Ukes and Military Wives Choir did their second sets.   A great selection throughout the day, something for everyone. 

For the Party in the Park, we had the return of ‘General Admission’ what a great band, they played a selection of songs that appealed to everyone and got the crowd, singing and dancing.  Highly recommended.

Many people stayed for the day, making the most of the food and drink available.  For the third year we had Ta’hoots Bar join us, with James Hooton being happy to talk to fans and stop for a selfie.  We also had the return of Fleur’s Kitchen, Darren’s Burger Van and the Pink Ice Cream Van, with new this year The Naughty Pig.  There were also the lovely volunteers from St Michael’s Church doing, tea/coffee and cakes inside the Village Hall.

We had the return of Lincoln Model Engineering Society miniature railway and the classic cars.  We had the return of Benny's Funfair, we were on both Friday and Saturday. 

Unfortunately, due to the hot weather we had to cancel the dog show.  We had some amazing prizes donated again by 'Lincoln Edge Vets'.

Organising the event takes months of work, and so it is such a relief when the weather is good and everyone comes along and enjoys myself.   Thanks go out to all the Parish Councillors who helped with the organising, preparation and during the day, along with Sonia, Farrah and Spencer Sanders, who volunteered to help on the day.
