Introduction to the Fair
For those who missed it...
Strawberry fair is a free, one-day arts and crafts festival in the center of Cambridge, UK. This year fair was on Saturday June 6th, 2009.
Our website aims to show you around the fair and introduces to you its volunteers. Take a look around and find out what's happening at this year's event, and maybe even how you can help make it happen...
The fair is run and paid for, not by the council, but through the dedicated efforts of ordinary, unelected and unpaid individuals. People not unlike me or you, in fact these people may well be you and me, depending on who is reading this blurb. Strawberry Fair is, after all, your festival, and you have every right to help make it happen. It is, in fact, ENCOURAGED.
It's your Fair, Play Fair.
Strawberry Fair believes in being a good neighbour and so this year has launched a campaign to encourage visitors of the Fair to not only respect others whilst enjoying the entertainment but also those living nearby Midsummer Common. There's nothing revolutionary about what we're asking people to do, infact it's all about common sense. Find out more about the campaign by clicking here.
