Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre 23 - 25 Nov

[enodreven]

Hi,

 

Just thought I would mention it for those who are looking for something enjoyable to do, we went a few years ago and it was very enjoyable, it runs from the 23rd to 25th November 2012.

 

here's a link to their web site.

I'm fortunate enough to live there and the fayre is so well supported that some here have thought it wise to try to restrict it. If you come I'd suggest you use the park and ride which is instigated just for this occasion and the thursday night markets. You need to enjoy crowds as the place is heaving and the different foods and goods available are amazing. Abbey gardens are worth the visit and you can see the point at which the barons are reputed to have prayed before going to face King John with the Magna Carter (Ive probably spelt that wrong but then I'm an like that) John (lol) 8-) Greene King also live here,

We camped in the long stay car park the night before and met up with Tony Jones a couple of years ago. It is a really good market and we enjoyed the company too! :-) :-)

Yes, we've done this several times. The car park has 5 dedicated large motohome spaces but you're free to park in the "normal" spaces too - plenty of motorhomers do.

It's free of charge overnight (after 6pm), as long as you put a pay & display ticket on in the morning (8am).

Highly recommended, although we've got different plans this year so giving it a miss.

On the other side of the country, the Christmas Fayre in Bath is excellent as well.

 

We went a couple of years ago and had a great time.
