I am over the moon with how the fabulousplaces.co.uk Summer Fete went last Sunday at Shottle Hall, what a truly wonderful day and…it didn’t rain!!

A huge thank you to all the fabulous shops and producers who kindly gave up their Sunday to sell their lovely wares…there was an array of tempting goodies of offer including locally made ice cream, farm produce, delicious cupcakes, crafts and cards.  Thank you to everyone who joined us, I hope you enjoyed the day!

The idea behind the events I run through fabulousplaces.co.uk is to offer you an opportunity to enjoy local, independent crafts and produce.  I couldn’t have imagined it to be in a more appropriate setting…Shottle Hall is a stunning venue and I hope you all had a good look around and enjoyed the setting.  I’m sure you’ll agree the grounds are beautiful and the picturesque views made the Summer Fete a truly wonderful event to wonder around.  With over 4,500 visitors throughout the day I really can’t wait for the next event!

A huge thank you to Carol and her team from Polly’s List for the fabulous Polly’s Corner.  The games, bouncy castles, face painting and stalls were full of nostalgia and put a smile on so many little faces!

Thank you again to everyone who helped make the event a huge success!

Here are some photos taken by lovely Twitter friends @clairetweet and @dawn_e .  Thank you for taking the photos…they’re fab!

    Congratulations, we had a wonderful afternoon at the fete, and that includes a usually fussy hubbie – not one to hang around most of the time, and an impatient 4 1/2 year old. The Bluebells ice cream and Pollys Corner kept them entertained and allowed me to have a wonderful chat with lots of talented, crafty stall holders, and a lovely browse, and of course a bit of shopping. It was a fantastic atmosphere throughout and the venue was just perfect. A truly fabulous event, thanks! Charlotte X
