Wandsworth Bridge Road Summer Fete

There is nothing that us SW6 girls like more than a street party and enjoying some festivities with our neighbours and local businesses. In conjunction with ‘Celebrating Fulham’, which takes places from 25th June- 3rd July, the local businesses of Wandsworth Bridge Road have got together to organize a Summer Fete this Saturday 25th June. The active residents and patrons of this much loved road are backing the concept of a ‘Big Society’ and in particular highlighting the importance of the local high street. If this local cause wasn’t worthy enough they have also organized a raffle with a selection of exciting prizes to entice locals and will donate all the proceeds to the ‘Help a Capital Child’ charity.

The day will be kicked off by the Mayor of Hammersmith and Fulham, Cllr Frances Stainton at 11am and go on all day until 5pm. There will be a variety of activities and entertainment on offer to suit all tastes and ages including wine tasting, live music, food tastings , dancing, pottery demonstrations, face painting, cupcake girls, stilt walkers, clowns, cheese tasting, food stalls, children’s treasure hunt, a beer tent and flamenco dancing.

Many of the local shops will have discounts and special offers on the day for visitors and residents to take advantage of while having the opportunity to get to know the face behind the eclectic variety of businesses that the road has to offer. From Harringtons Children’s boutique and Circus Circus Party Store to Randalls the local butcher and Karma Dental Care the local dentist, everyone is going to be rolling up their sleeves for some good old fashioned community spirit and fun.

The BBQ will be fired up and fingers crossed the sun will be shining making for a thoroughly enjoyable day out in SW6 which promotes not only a great local cause but also donates money to charity. Jess and I will be there flying the SW6 flag so hopefully we will see some familiar faces!
