Well, what a weekend!
Our 20th Craft C***r Festival, and what a wonderful one it was!
We couldn't have asked for better autumn weather, and Saturday was quite possibly our busiest day ever! Even with the roadworks making getting into Burley a little tricky, you turned out in your thousands (Yes! thousands!!) to celebrate with us.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, enjoyed a c***r (or two!), danced to the music, cheered on the ferrets, met the alpacas and generally made the weekend such a lovely occasion.
To all our fantastic traders, entertainers, musicians, including The Skimmity Hitchers, who never fail to make us chuckle! and especially our wonderful team of volunteers — we simply couldn't do it without you.
It's quite something to think how far we've come, from a vintage c***r press in the car park to a whole weekend of celebrations filling the yard and field and it's all thanks to your continued support.
Here are a few of our favourite photos from the weekend, with photo credit and a big thank you to Simon Rowley for capturing the occasion so beautifully. Thanks also to everyone who's been sharing their own pictures with us. We've loved seeing them!
Same time next year? We certainly hope so!
With a very big THANK YOU from all of us at New Forest C***r.
