St Mary’s Church will be holding their annual Fayre. There will be many open days including Turner’s House, Pope’s Grotto, the Mary Wallace Theatre, Richmond Yacht Club, Twickenham Yacht Club and Twickenham Rowing Club. The Twickenham Riverside Jubilee Festival will start with the traditional Tug of War outside the Barmy Arms and the popular Morris dancers will be making their customary appearance.
