Bomere Heath set for day of family fun as annual fete returns
Families are invited to enjoy an afternoon of entertainment, competitions, food and community spirit
The Bomere Heath community is preparing to come together once again as the village's annual Fete and Fun Day returns on Saturday, September 12.
Running from 2pm to 5pm, the popular event promises an afternoon packed with entertainment, competitions, food and activities for all ages.
John Edwards, of Sign and Graffiti Cleaning Enthusiasts Shrewsbury, will officially open the fete before visitors enjoy a programme of live entertainment and family attractions.
Shrewsbury Road will be closed between Windsor Lane and Chapel Close to create a bustling street market atmosphere, with charity, craft and produce stalls lining the route.
There will be plenty to see and do throughout the afternoon, including The Great Bomere Bake Off, a photography competition, fruit, vegetable and flower competition, and a dog show.
Entertainment will include performances from magician Paul Rushworth, The Animal Family, The People's Show Choir, Wem Taiko Drummers and Kevin's Community Circus.
Families can also enjoy face painting, an inflatable slide, a human fruit machine, a tombola and a raffle with a range of prizes.
Food and drink will be available throughout the afternoon from the Village Hall Coffee Shop, The Red Lion Inn, Mortzarella, Burger Shack and Mr Tee's Ice Creams.
The celebrations will continue after the main fete with a family disco in the Village Hall from 5.30pm until 6.45pm, before the evening moves to The Red Lion Inn.
Visitors are encouraged to park at Bomere Heath Cricket Club, which is a short walk from the fete.
The event is supported by Bomere Heath & District Parish Council, The Red Lion Inn, Cameron Homes and Housing Plus Group, and organisers are encouraging residents and visitors alike to come along and enjoy an afternoon celebrating the local community.
