Enjoy a fantastic evening of fun and frolics with Ceilidh’s Comet, who specialise in playing traditional barn dance music from the UK and Europe, creating a lively, friendly, fun atmosphere and a wonderful way to end this year’s Fun Day 🙂 A bar will be available.

A map showing the location of all the scarecrows will be produced & made available so they can be judged for the competition & enjoyed by everyone.

** This competition, Broadwindsor Fun Day together with other activities and entertainment are run by Broadwindsor Fun Group – a committee of four, of which three will not be continuing 🙁
Most importantly, the Broadwindsor Fun Group need a new Chairman and at least 2 more members (all are able to hand over and support). To avoid closure of the Fun Group – it is hoped some people will put themselves forward. If this is something you may be interested in – please email bwfunday20@gmail.com. Many thanks.**
