Beyton is a lovely village with a large central green which is ideal for a country fair especially on a warm sunny day. In 1978 Beyton was successful in getting the old A45 between Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich diverted away from the village.
Saturday afternoon rather than waste time in doors or doing gardening we decided to visit Beyton Country Fair.
A very traditional fair with something for everyone to enjoy.
I know nothing about cars and motorbikes but there was some well cared for vintage machinery on display. Like all good village fairs there in the marquee was a number of competitions for the best cake, flower arranging,photography and preserves.
There were a number of children's races including the egg and spoon.
I didn't quite get what appeared to be lobbing a sweet nearest a jar but apparently they do this every year.
One of the most interesting stands was a fitness endurance test combining a number of exercises such as the plank. The test being to hold these positions for the longest.
The food and refreshments and cake stands seemed to do a good trade. It is always a pleasure to visit Beyton.
Beyton is a gorgeous village. I always go there to get our pumpkins from the farm at Halloween. The Fair looks as though it was a great day out!
