About the Fayre
The Blandford Georgian Fayre Committee is now working towards the next fayre on Monday 7th May 2012. To ensure its success the local community is working hard together, a wide and varied team of fayre supporters bring together their skills to ensure that Blandford is again turned out in its finery for this popular annual event putting Blandford Forum on the map.
Over the last 19 years of the Blandford Georgian Fayre links have been forged throughout the local community, bringing offers of help that have ensured the success of Fayre has grown steadily year on year.
‘We couldn't do it on our own', says Janice Driscoll, head of the organising committee, ‘it really is a testament to a whole community pulling together to make things happen, time and commitment are given freely by the committee and the many people and organisations throughout the town'.
Not only is this unique event probably the largest in the south of England, but it also offers the chance for the people of Blandford to return to the days of old, when community links were at their strongest, when people only needed a focus in order to come together to achieve something.
