The town’s revived Cherry Fayre ends on a high note
Axminster’s Cherry Fayre reached a mouth watering climax on Friday when the town centre was turned into a giant eatery
The Big Dinner was a celebration of the West Country’s finest food and drink which saw a host of street food sellers serving a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes.
Local bands and musicians, including the first group to play on the church roof, kept the crowds entertained, supported by demonstrations by Axminster Gymnastics Club and the Uplyme Morris.
Cindy Furse, chairman of Light Up Axminster which organised the fayre, said: “The amazing weather just added to the atmosphere of the evening, as several hundred people enjoyed all that was on offer.
“Axminster’s Big Dinner was the last event that made up The Cherry Fayre, the resurrected eight day festival marking the granting of the Royal Market Charter of 1210 to the town. Light Up Axminster would like to thank everyone for coming along, getting involved or helping out along the way.”
