Wivenhoe May Fair 2011 raises over £4,500 for charity


Wivenhoe May Fair by Ian Narbeth

This year's Wivenhoe May Fair, the 29 year old free music and arts event raised over £4,500 for charity. This brings the total raised for good causes since 2000 to nearly £35,000.

Over 25 bands and artists played during the day (30 May), the cycle-powered cinema showcased local talent, children were entertained and shopaholics made full use of the colourful and eclectic stalls.

As a result of bucket rattling by the May Fairies and volunteer stewards, the following ten charities will each receive a donation:

* EACHSA
* Re-Cycle
* The Russ Foundation
* East Anglian Children's Hospice
* Colchester Citizens Advice Bureau
* Colchester Womens' Refuge
* Colchester Night Shelter
* Transition Wivenhoe
* Wivenhoe Helping Hands
* Wivenhoe Ferry Trust

Mike Freeman, May Fair Coordinator said: "The organisers of the Wivenhoe May Fair would like to thank the peaceful festival goers of all ages who attended this year's music and arts event and who helped to raise over £4,500 for charity. We were treated to a fantastic line-up of entertainment and the sun gods shone on us. See you in 2012!"
