Sacrewell spring fair
Sunday May 3rd
Spring is our favourite time of year at Sacrewell. Not only do we have new life springing up all around us, but we get to champion the best of the countryside at our spring fair on 3 and 4 May.
Sacrewell is part of the William Scott Abbott Trust, founded in 1964 to teach people about food and farming. So, twice a year we like to put on a celebration of our country traditions and take a trip back in time to the swinging 60s.
Marketing and events executive Megan Allen said: “We’re very lucky to live in an area where country traditions and skills are preserved very well, so we like to bring the best of it together in the spring and autumn to show off some of the talents of the people around us.
“From wool spinning to brewing ale, many traditional rely on farming in some way or another.”
Over the early May bank holiday we’ll have entertainment from Peterborough Morris; you’ll be able to have a go at May pole dancing and try your luck on our bucking sheep.
We’ll also have tug of war and throwing horseshoe competitions.
Refreshments will be provided by Origin8 @ Sacrewell which will be serving up a tasty barbecue and The Grainstore Brewery from Oakham will be keeping glasses topped up at the bar with their real ales and ciders.
“We’ve even got a 1940s style ice cream parlour coming along to serve up delicious ices,” Megan added.
“All of our fun and games will be complemented by a 1960s soundtrack.”
Sacrewell’s 18th Century grade II* listed watermill is due to reopen later in the summer and the centre will become a centre for milling excellence, helping to preserve the ancient skill and inspiring a new generation of millers and bakers.
Mrs Allen said: “Although the mill project won’t quite be finished, it’ll be a chance for people to see the changes to the exterior hat are already very apparent and hopefully encourage them to come back and see it when it reopens in the summer.”
Sacrewell spring fair will take place from 10am to 4pm each day. Normal farm admission applies for entry. Under twos can visit for free.
Price: Normal farm admission applies
