A traditional street fair is back this weekend - with something for everyone.

Stoke Abbott’s annual street fair takes places on Sunday, kicking off with the traditional parade at 1.45pm, a tradition dating back to 1870.

From 2pm, there will be an array of stalls, a fun dog show, live entertainment, cream teas, vintage tractors, games, ferret-racing, food and drink tastings and the ever-popular Book Barn amongst the attractions. New for 2024, Discover Farming will be offering hands-on activities and there’s a Treasure Hunt too.

The popular pre-loved clothes stall is a joint enterprise with Bridport Clothes Bank, with a mix of designer label fashion and rummage tables.

We are particularly delighted to support the outstanding work of Beaminster’s Prout Bridge Project, our chosen local charity this year.”

There’s live music and dancing throughout the village and the New Inn garden will have a band and a barbecue.

Free car parking is available on the road into the village from Beaminster only (the village lanes are closed throughout). There is an entry fee of £2 per adult (children free) and the entire event is cash only.

Proceeds will go to St Mary’s Church, the Village Hall and the Prout Bridge Project.

The Beaminster-based charity, which started life as a youth club in 2016 in response to government cuts, has seen a phenomenal growth in popularity and now offers activities, facilities and services for people of all ages living in the town and the surrounding area.

Before Christmas, its future was in doubt due to huge rising costs. It was saved after raising a whopping £26k in only three weeks.
