A FOOD and craft fayre is coming to South Lakeland next month.

The event, hosted by the Westmorland Agricultural Society, takes places on the County Showground at Lane Farm, Crooklands over the weekend of June 5/6.

This smaller event is being held in lieu of the cancelling of the main Westmorland Show this summer.

A spokesperson said: “We are really excited to announce our intention to hold a brand new Country Food & Craft Fayre, with all the necessary Covid safety measures in place.

“The Fayre will incorporate an array of local food, craft, garden and gift exhibitors providing a much-needed boost to our loyal traders.

“Accompanied by lively entertainment and demonstrations, the Showground provides the ideal opportunity for visitors to socially distance whilst enjoying the open countryside.”

The Society and its Showground have been deemed ‘Good to Go’ by Visit England.

Tickets are on sale now, to book and for more information call 015395 67804.
