Steyning Country Fair Raffle

The Steyning Country Fair Committee, all of whom are local volunteers, has spent the last 8 or so months organising this year’s Country Fair.

The Fair of 2015 was the first event for the current committee and was a resounding success.

We hope you will join us as we once again turn Steyning into an old Sussex market town,

complete with livestock, country crafts, jugglers, musicians and side shows in the town

centre. The High Street is closed for the day and the car park becomes a stock yard.

Farmers and traders, in late 19th Century country costume, set up many colourful stalls

of produce and crafts, including craft demonstrations. There will also be Music, Tea &

Cakes and Exhibitions at the STEYNING CENTRE and the COUNTRY FAIR DOG SHOW on

Fletcher’s Croft Field.

There is limited FREE PARKING available for all visitors.

Please support our raffle, which helps raise funds to cover the costs of the day.
