Woodgate Community Shop's annual Summer Fair brings neighbours together for stalls, activities, fundraising, and a relaxed afternoon around the shop. The fair has been part of the village rhythm since the first one in 2021.
Visitors are welcome to browse, meet local makers and groups, and stay for as much of the afternoon as suits them. Entry is free, dogs are welcome, and the practical details below will be updated as plans are confirmed.

The Summer Fair is planned as a steady afternoon: stall holders arrive first, the Green opens to visitors around lunchtime, and the day wraps up before the early evening.
These timings are a working outline while the layout and stall holder information are finalised. Confirmed arrival, unloading, and pack-down instructions will be added before applications open.
