Fabulous Fun for all the Family.
Minchinhampton Country Fayre is a traditional fayre with lots of entertainment, food and fun.
There were clowns, fairground rides, art and gardening exhibitions, demonstrations, pony rides, gliding simulator, vintage cars and much, much more. Dozens of craft and produce stalls tempted people into parting with their hard-earned cash..... including the fabulous amazing RSPCA South Cotswolds tombola and book sale! There was also plenty of food and drink stalls in the food court, including a pig roast, burgers/sausages, pizzas, vegetarian stalls, and a place to relax in one of Minchinhampton's excellent cafes and pub. All in the charming setting of the historic town of Minchinhampton.
The fabulous opening procession arrived in the High Street at 12 noon for the official start of the fayre. www.thebestof.co.uk/local/stroud/events/feature/minchinhampton-country-fayre
