SHORWELL Midsummer Fair is changing venue this year for the first time in its 60-year history.

The popular Isle of Wight event is moving from Northcourt House to Wolverton Manor, and organisers are keen to thank Jane and Mark Patterson for allowing the great spectacle to continue.

They would also like to thank Christine and John Harrison for facilitating previous events at Northcourt.

“Their support, generosity and hard work will never be forgotten,” said a spokesperson for the committee.

“The Shorwell Midsummer Fair will continue to raise as much money as possible, with all proceeds going to organisations in and around the local community.

“This year’s fair will take place on Saturday, June 24, between 1.30pm and 5pm.

“We look forward to welcoming both returning and new visitors in supporting the next adventure of this great local event.”
