The Oakham Food and Craft event was a smaller affair this June but the weather was fine and the people who visited seemed to enjoy themselves. The musical entertainment was appreciated, and Carolyn of Carolyn Acton Events the organiser, was busy promoting her local lottery to encourage people to support local business.

Di Smith, a local crafter and stall holder said. 

"the weather was fabulous, the whole day was fabulous"

Here are some of the key points from the event:

There were fewer stalls on offer this June, but the quality was still high.

The weather stayed fine, which was a relief after the recent rain.

The limited number of people who visited seemed to enjoy themselves.

The musical entertainment was appreciated.

There were no stalls within Oakham Castle or its grounds this time around.

Carolyn was busy promoting  her local lottery to encourage people 

to support local business.

Overall, the Oakham Food and Craft event was a success, despite the smaller turnout. The organisers are planning to make it bigger and better next time.

The next Rutland Food and Drink Festival will take place in September 2023
