Residents are invited to Havant Fayre for a day of fun-filled activities and entertainment.
Havant Fayre, organised by Havant Borough Council, is a new community event for the whole family. The first of its kind in the borough, the Fayre will take place in Havant Park on Sunday 14 September, from 10am – 4pm.
Adults and children alike can come along and enjoy events and activities, including: a funfair, live music, community stalls, a dog show, and more. Food and drink will also be available.
Councillor Gillian Harris, Cabinet Lead for Regeneration and Communities, said: “When we asked residents how we can make Havant a better place to live, many of the responses included a wish to see more community events. I hope this is going to be the first of many, designed to bring the community together to enjoy themselves and to enjoy the environment of Havant. The Fayre is open to all – so why not come along and have a great day out with family and friends.”
There is something for all ages, with performances from groups such as The Abstract School of Dance, Dynamo Youth Theatre, and Hampshire Taiho Jutsu. The Big Noise Community Samba Band will be taking to the stage at 1pm, with the Langstone Big Band playing later in the afternoon. You can also get moving and stay active with FitnFunky or Zumba.
