BAMPTON FAIR - comp by PW about Bampton nr Tiverton, Devon -- Paul Wilson & Ben van Weede: SAYDISC CP-115 1980. "Bampton Charter Fair" and After the Fair October 28th to 31st 2004 Bampton Charter Fair and 'After the Fair' is a four day festival in Devon with a difference. For a start this is the Fair's seven hundred and forty sixth year - but we can't claim the credit for that! We can however feel good about the fact that together with the Fair Organiser we are restoring it to it's former three day event status, that we are helping to ensure it's survival into the 21stC and we are nurturing the living traditional heritage of Fair Day custom, music, song and dance that can so easily slip into "history" by accident. We have been greatly helped by financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, awarded jointly to Pennymoor Singaround and The Bampton Fair Working Committee. Arrive on Thursday to a traditional fair with pony sales, street market stalls, collective sale, street entertainment, craft stalls and demonstrations and a folk entertainment tent. In the evening after the lantern lit procession there is a choice between a Medieval Banquet with the Trewarmett Minstrels and a Westcountry style Variety Concert compered by Tony Beard, the Wag from Widdicombe Those with an interest in cultural history and folk collecting will enjoy the Archive exhibition which we are compiling with encouragement and advice from Doc Rowe. Since May we have been collecting audio and visual memories of past fairs and with the help of teachers from Bampton School we are enlisting the help of local children in recording the memories of their parents and grandparents, and in searching out photographs and memorabilia. This work will continue after the festival this year is over. In line with all the activities Pennymoor Singaround become involved in the emphasis is on maximum participation and so the festival is mainly free with a modest charge on the door for some events of between £3 and £5. Indoor camping is available, as is hard standing for vans and space for tents. We need to know what you require in advance however to make sure that there is room for all. If you would like to help us in any way in the Bampton Charter Fair and After the Fair project, or if you just want to come along and enjoy it, please contact Clare Penney for more details at Pennymoor Singaround, Westland, Pennymoor, Tiverton, Devon EX16 8PG E mail west.land@lineone.net Web site http://pennymoor.members.beeb.net
