Finally, after two years of restrictions, Albourne CofE Primary School are excited to be holding their first summer fair since 2019. The school’s PTA are well underway planning the day, which will be held on the school field on Saturday 11th June, 12pm-3pm.

It’s a particularly special year, because the school is celebrating its 60th birthday and so the fair itself will have a birthday theme – expect balloons, prizes, and of course, cake! There will be plenty of stalls and games as well as a BBQ and other entertainment! The Albourne PTA would love to hear from any local businesses willing to donate or sponsor a raffle prize this year, which is to be drawn on the day.

Alternatively, if you’d be interested in having a stall at the event itself in exchange for a small contribution to the school, please do get in touch! We want to make the fair one to remember and need your help to make it happen. To get in touch, please email albournepta@yahoo.co.uk. Albourne PTA use the funds raised at events to enrich the school children’s learning experience. From funding workshops and day trips, to contributing towards new IT and playground equipment.

Albourne Village Show 2017 - 9th September 2017

This year sees the 10th Anniversary of the Albourne Village Show which attempts to recreate our old Village Flower Show of the 1930s. It takes place at the Village Hall and on the green. At its core is a traditional flower and vegetable show, with additional classes for children, arts and crafts, photography, beverages, fruit, eggs, honey and all manner of culinary exhibits. Last year’s show attracted nearly 1,000 visitors and nearly 350 class entries!

Additional attractions include the 10th Anniversary Raffle (with £100 first prize), apple pressing (bring your own), vintage vehicles, a fun dog show, children’s games (including live magician), birds of prey, live music (including the Patcham Silver Band), hot food from the barbecue, cream teas, a beer tent (serving real ale and wines) and many other village and countryside exhibits and stands. Oh, and we have ice-cream and candyfloss. 

Details of classes can be found here on our website (www.albournevillageshow.co.uk). Entries to all classes from those outside Albourne are welcome and indeed encouraged!

The event is just a 20 minute walk from Hurstpierpoint. Entry is 50p for adults. Free entry for children and free car parking.
