It was a fantastic day! The stalls were all allocated, the events booked and the team of volunteers who organise the day did he most amazing job! We even made the sun shine right through ’til 5 o’clock!
Old favourites were back –  Mr Alexander the wonderful family entertainer, Get Cycling with their bikes and bike-powered Scalectric too, the Rhythm Studio and the breathtaking, gravity defying “Fanti” the Ghanaian acrobats.

New last year were ferret racing and tennis coaching and in the arena, the Xtreme Trials motorbike display team & the Kilburn Cosmos Rugby Club.

Many, many local groups did amazing business and raised enough money to keep themselves going through the coming year! It’s a great source of pride that we can give them a platform to achieve this. Quite a few children got lost … but they were all reunited with their families! We had amazing cake and edible monster competitions. Lots of new members joined QPARA  and bought our new bags and mugs.

We had a maximum number of stalls divided between Community Stalls – (charities and local groups) and Trade Stalls (business stalls – even if you’re local and just running your business from home).  We gave priority to genuinely local groups and businesses.  Each year we try to have some new stalls which means that even though you’ve had a stall before you’re not guaranteed a space.  Our aim is to have a good mix of stalls to appeal to our wide audience.

Food stalls were hugely popular and we had every type of dish you can think of!
