FAIR: 12 - 5pm BAND: ‘Ship of fools’ 5 – 9.30pm Traditionally we have had a street fair in Evershot. However we felt it was time to try something new . Last year we decided that as we are in such a wonderful part of Dorset with an enormous variety of great food producers, we would have a food hall. We invited about 35 local food producers from an area of only ten miles from our village. This was so successful largely due to the standard of people who came to show what they do, We have now decided to widen the theme of great Dorset skilled people to include rural crafts. We have found over 20 people willing to come and Bang the Drum for Dorset we have so far Stone mason Stone mason/ stone carving Stone waller Willow sculpture Handcrafted oak garden furniture The farrier RSPB The felt lady Dorset bio diversity partnership Hurdle maker Traditional, rare and modern breeds of poultry and waterfowl, Woodland management hedge laying Windsor chair maker Long bows yurts and trugs Animal portraits Wood carving / timber framing Woodland heritage trust Potters Pole lathe Wood turner Wood mill and demo Beekeeper Dorset wildlife trust Magdelen farm project Environmental education centre These people are coming to demonstrate their skills or show the results of their skills. It really is about letting the world know how lucky we are having such a huge diversity of skilled people on our doorstep. There will obviously be some of the usual Village type stalls. Plus some static steam engines and the amazing food hall. The setting will be in the grounds of the old Estate office buildings, now home to one of our generous village residents. It will now also take in the village cricket ground. The Event will hopefully raise money for the Village and will be split between the Church, Village Hall, Play group, The Village fund and the School. We will also have a local band playing for us in the evening. 'Ship of Fools' is an exciting 9 piece contemporary folk band offering a varied and versatile set to suit all tastes. "Seriously, that gig last night is now in my top 5, and that top five includes Billy Bragg, the Birthday Party and Polly Harvey in Bridport last year. Which means you pushed The Jam in 1979 to number 6. It was a completely joyous night, and you are a completely joyous band." If you can find the time to come and join us or would like to know more contact me on: 01935 83520 or at jacknsteve@hotmail.co.uk Or you could ring me at the Bakery 01935 83379 or D.Kaile on 01935 83155 website: SHIP OF FOOLS Steve Crate
