We've got an Olympic theme this time and there will be snail racing, trapeze artists, hula-hooping and kids sporting activities, with the theme being Retro Sporting Heroes from Ancient Greece to now…so get out those long Chariots of Fire shorts! The Farmers' Market proved to be such a success last time that all the stalls have signed up again, plus more. Lady Margaret's Dog Show will once again be a barking mad attraction, plus Her Ladyship has announced she will also be organising a Mr Widcombe contest. As usual there will be several stages.
