Sir Gavin Williamson visited St Andrews Church’s annual spring Fayre in Great Wyrley.
Over the course of the morning, the local community was invited to come together at the lively Fayre. There were a huge variety of stalls, which were greatly enjoyed, selling refreshments, jewellery, second-hand clothes, books and DVDs. Moreover, the children at the Fayre had the opportunity to take part in entertaining activities like face painting, a penalty shoot-out, and tombola. Sir Gavin bought several raffle tickets.
Furthermore, the annual scarecrow trail in Great Wyrley also took place on the same day. Every year, the local community puts together a series of events in order to celebrate carnival. The scarecrow festival weekend kicked-off with a scarecrow trail around the village, which saw residents create and put up their own scarecrows outside their houses. Both adults and children took part in the best scarecrow competition, showing great enthusiasm.
Sir Gavin said: “I was delighted to spend my Saturday morning both at St Andrews Church’s spring Fayre and the scarecrow festival in Great Wyrley. It was great to see so many people come and celebrate together on a beautiful sunny day. In addition, I also had the chance to visit the scout hut and catch up with our local youth leaders.”
