‘Wymondham-Abbey-on-Sea’ Summer Fair – Norfolk

Wymondham Abbey is gearing up for another Abbey Day Summer Fair, showcasing unique crafts, Norfolk produce, live music, a feast of Norfolk street food, dancing, a fun dog show, children’s activities and cocktails – all with a beach party theme.

The Abbey Day by the Sea, on Saturday 26^st July, is free to enter, and while every purchase of crafts and food supports local traders, the event also raises funds for Wymondham Abbey, and the event organiser ClearCompany CIC for its community projects at That Little Norfolk Shop & Studio, Wymondham.

There will be live music throughout the day from The Fine City Strummers and a variety of local acts, and special beach themed performances from Team Rachel Zumba and Egyptian Dance Norwich.  Children can enjoy a singing session with musician Gemma Cullingford, from Wymondham, featuring songs from her innovative new book My Musical Book of Fables.  There will also be an art session with the book’s illustrator Duncan Grantis, from Norwich.

The Fun Dog Show will be run by The German Shepherd Rescue Elite Charity with proceeds going towards their rescue work.   There will be 13 classes and the winners of each are invited back into the ring for the best in show class.  The winner, and one reserve, will each receive a trophy, large rosette and a prize.   Judging will begin at 12.30pm.

In addition to a mocktail making station for children and those wanting an alcohol-free option, there will be cocktails available from new Norfolk business Kako Gin & El Tenor Rum.*

The Summer Fair runs from 11am to 7pm on Saturday 26^th July with more than 60 stalls inside the Abbey and surrounding grounds.
