Hilly Fields Midsummer Fayre 2020

2020 FAYRE POSTPONED

Sadly, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we will not be able to run the Hilly Fields Midsummer Fayre on 20 June 2020. We are very sorry about this and regret that an important community event will not take place at this difficult time. Depending on how things develop we hope to be able to run the event later in the year. We will notify you on this website, Twitter and via Brockley Society’s circular email. To be included on the circular list please contact us by email at: 

 

There is a gallery of photos from the 2019 Fayre here, and watch this lovely short film put together by the folks at Aloha Films London. Thanks to everyone who took part, especially if you ran a stall, took part as a performer, or volunteered.

See you in autumn 2020 – fingers crossed! Watch this space.

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!
