Category: Summer Fayre
There is no FoMPS Summer Fayre and Scarecrow Hunt this year, as we alternate arranging the Fayre each year with St John’s Church. Details of this year’s event on Saturday 2nd July 2016 are on Facebook.
The FoMPS Summer Fayre and Scarecrow Hunt will return in 2017.
We’ve had lots of texts from people who have found the balloons we released at the end of the Summer Fayre. Has your balloon travelled the furthest? Visit our Balloon Tracker and find out.
It’s the Summer Fayre and Scarecrow Hunt this Saturday, 4th July. Pick up your Scarecrow Hunt Clue Sheet from the Registration Desk (see map) from 1pm. The Fayre runs from 2 until 4.30pm.
Highlights this year include the Fancy Dress Parade at 3pm with a prize for the best dressed Children’s Book Character, Running Races at 3.30pm and the Balloon Race at 4.30pm.
In between, pick up a hotdog and a Pimms at the bar and barbecue, test your skills in the Penalty Shoot Out, browse for a bargain at the book stall and enjoy games including Splat the Rat, Hook a Duck and Tin Can Alley.
See you Saturday!

The Scarecrow Hunt and Summer Fayre take place this year on Saturday 4th July.
The theme for this year’s Scarecrow Hunt is Children’s Books. The hunt starts at 1pm from the school playground and should take 60-90 minutes to complete, with a great prize for the person or family that correctly identifies the most scarecrows. If you’d like to get into character, Mrs Wilson will be judging the best children’s book fancy dress at the Fayre.
Would you like to make a scarecrow for the hunt? Please get in touch!
The Summer Fayre runs from 2 to 4.30pm, with all the traditional stalls and games you would expect, including coconut shy, tombola, penalty shoot out and more, plus races for children and adults. For refreshments, we will have a bar and barbecue plus cream teas and ice cream too.
Are you able to lend a hand on the day? Maybe run a stall for 30 minutes? Please let us know!
After the fancy dress parade, the Fayre will draw to a close with the traditional balloon race at 4.30pm.
More information to come. Please keep an eye on Menston Mail, our website and our Facebook page.
