Many of you regulars may notice that there has been a subtle layout change this year. We have moved the Archery, Scything and Trailer Rides to the front of the main house so please don’t miss out, head over there and have a go. Given the dry summer that we have had, it may still be noticeable that there has been some work done down at the lake in the deer park. What you see is by no means a finished project, rather one that has started a bit early due to the opportunity given by the lake completely drying out and allowing us to properly dredge it. Once we have done this the next step will be to repair the Dam wall at the end making it watertight once again which we hope to do before next year’s fair. If you want to have a closer look, please take a trailer ride down and see for yourself. There is plenty to do around the show but if there is anyone or anything that you can’t find, please come and see us at the Show Office (between Market and Conservation Row) and we will try help you out as best we can. Enjoy your day, Printed by Wincanton Print. With thanks Jack Langmead to Emma Osment Photography for the use August 2018 of her pictures from the 2017 Oak Fair.
