Raystede Summer Fair

The Raystede Summer Fair is back!

Enjoy a traditional fun family day out and support your local animal welfare charity.

Taking place across two days, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 June, from 10am to 4pm on Raystede’s fields, there will be lots of animal-inspired activities and displays, plus shopping stalls, food and drink, live music and entertainment for all ages.

Dogs are very welcome.  For anyone who has rehomed a dog from Raystede, there will be a special Raystede Rehomers Parade on the Saturday afternoon – bring your four-legged friend and join the lap of honour.  Or enter them in the Fun Dog Show on the Sunday. Throughout the weekend, there will be dog display teams and the chance to have a go with your own dog.

Ponies will be on parade on both days – a chance to see Raystede’s own herd of horses and ponies.

The Van Buren variety show features magic, illusions, juggling, comedy and escapology, plus there’s a gravity-defying Parkour team.  After each show, there’ll be the chance for you to have a go too.

Add to that bouncy castles, soft play, an extreme assault course, penalty shoot-out, coconut shy, shopping marquee, vegetarian and vegan food, ice creams and candy floss and you’ve got the perfect family day out!

10am to 4pm on both days.

Tickets cost – £7 adult, £4 child, £20 family ticket.
