New date for SEAS Winter Fair 2020
Please see the following statement from the South of England Agricultural Society about the Winter Fair that was scheduled for the end of this month:
In light of the current lockdown, the South of England Agricultural Society can confirm it is now going to hold the Winter Fair on 5th & 6th December 2020, government guidelines allowing, instead of 21st and 22nd November as planned.
Corrie Ince, Show Director for the Society said: “The Winter Fair is all about great shopping with Christmas fun alongside. We know that many of our trade exhibitors rely heavily on the pre-Christmas period and have had a terrible year so far. We want to support them and provide our members and visitors with a Covid-Secure opportunity for Christmas preparation and family fun.”
Those who have already booked a ticket to the Winter Fair will be automatically transferred to the weekend of the 5th and 6th December, with Saturday and Sunday selections remaining in place. The Society is contacting members and ticketholders with more detailed information.
The Winter Fair is held by, and in aid of, the South of England Agricultural Society—a charity that funds and supports agricultural education and countryside learning. The Society organises and hosts shows and events that promote agriculture, horticulture and the countryside including its flagship event, the South of England Show, which takes place in June each year. The Society also delivers educational events including conferences, schools days and competitions and provides grants, awards and bursaries for those with an interest or involvement in farming or other land based industries. All the Society’s activities aim to celebrate, build awareness and develop understanding of products that come from land-based industries, as well as the use and support of local suppliers.
