Cherries at Abbey Farm

31/08/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us over the Bank Holiday weekend and helped make this year's Abbey Farm Summer Fair such a special one. Whether you came to shop, eat, explore, listen to the music, get creative or simply enjoy Abbey Farm, it was wonderful to see so many of you here ❤️

A massive thank you to all of our brilliant and talented traders and exhibitors — and especially for braving the wind and unpredictable British summer weather with us! Your beautiful stalls, creativity and good spirits brought the whole fair to life.

Thank you to our incredible musicians who kept us entertained throughout the weekend — Emily Jean, Olly Howard, The Decadettes and Portesham Ukulele Band. You were all absolutely brilliant!

And, of course, a huge thank you to the café team at Cherries for all the hard work behind the scenes, helping get the event off the ground and keeping everything running throughout the weekend.

One of my favourite little additions this year was our guestbook banner, which I had such a great time making with Adam and Keara! 🖊️ Thank you to everyone who stopped to sign it, leave us a message or add a little doodle — it’s such a lovely reminder of the weekend and everyone who shared it with us.

And we absolutely loved seeing all the incredible decorated pebbles appearing throughout the fair! 🎨 From our youngest visitors to the young at heart, there was some serious creativity on display. Thank you to everyone who sat down, picked up a pen and got involved!

Most importantly, thank you to every single person who came through the gates and supported our traders, musicians and the independent businesses here at Abbey Farm. We hope you had as much fun as we did.

🎄 Next up... the BIG Abbey Farm Christmas Fair! 🎄

Save the dates: Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th November 2026. We already can't wait to welcome you back for a magical festive weekend at Abbey Farm! ✨

Thank you again for being part of our Summer Fair. ❤️
