Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th September 2013

The annual Sweetcorn Fayre will be held again this year at Arreton Barns to raise money for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. The traditional village fete includes an array of vintage craft stalls, fairground rides and plenty for the kids to get involved with.

As well as trampolines and a bouncy castle, the children have the opportunity to ‘pop their own popcorn’, try their hand and making their own sweetcorn fritters and experience the workings of a traditional steam powered corn mill.

Live music and acts will be performing over both Saturday and Sunday with plenty of local Isle of Wight artists entertaining the crowds throughout.

Although the Sweetcon Fayre aims a lot of its entertainment at the younger generations; this is not to say that there is nothing for the parents and grandparents alike. The beer festival that is held over the Sweetcorn Fayre weekend and has over 40 beers and ciders on offer at The Dairyman’s Daughter pub.

Farmer Jack’s will be holding cheese and wine tasting as well as sausage making demonstrations and tastings.

Arreton Barns will be open from 10am – 5pm, with the Dairyman’s Daughter staying open later into the evening. Entry is £2.50 per person, with children under the age of 11 going free.
