It takes a Village!

Around 2000 people attended an old-fashioned Family Fun Fair in Newnham which was such an enchanting success it’s set to become an annual event.

“Residents wanted to experience the traditional fairs they remembered enjoying as youngsters, so we thought we’d bring the fair to them,” explains Audette. “They had a ball! It was heart-warming to see young and old having their faces painted, going on pony and carriage rides and generally enjoying themselves.”
