Saturday 22 June 2019, 12pm – 5pm
And so we were blessed again with fine weather for another marvellous afternoon…
… and perhaps the best-attended Fayre ever!
Thanks to everyone who came along, especially if you ran a stall, took part as a performer, or volunteered.
Full report to come soon, but in the meantime you can view a gallery of photos from the day here, and watch the lovely short film put together by the folks at Aloha Films London just below.
See you next year!

Volunteer
THE FAYRE IS RUN ENTIRELY RUN BY VOLUNTEERS, AND WE NEED AS MANY AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THINGS RUN SMOOTHLY!
Our regular team of organisers has been busy setting everything up, but we still need more helpers on the day itself.
It’s a great way to meet neighbours, give something back to the community, and get a real sense of satisfaction. There are a wide range of roles which means there’s something for everyone. You don’t need to help out for the whole day; most roles are split into shifts of just a couple of hours – so you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the many attractions of the Fayre itself.
Whether you have enjoyed the event in the past or are new to the area, please consider giving up a few hours of your time on to help make the event a success.
Before the event, we need help distributing our programmes as widely as possible.
On the day itself, teams take charge of specific aspects of the organisation, each with a Team Captain.
- Marquee and tent set-up
- Hazard Tapes/Bunting/Signs/ Flags set-up
- Stewards (stalls / traffic flow)
- Litter management
- Children’s competitions
- Arena events
- Raffle ticket sales
- Brockley Society tent
- Tea and Cake stall
- Barbecue stall
- Event strike down (tents/gazebos)
Below is a summary of the roles, showing how many volunteers we need for each team, and the time commitment (you can also view and download it as a PDF here).
Most roles only require a couple of hours of your time; the more the merrier, and the smoother the event will run. It’s a great way to meet locals, and help our diverse and wonderful Brockley community thrive.

We hope to hear from you soon!
