Home made refreshments are available all day.  We start the day by providing hot 'bacon butties' plus tea/coffee at virtually cost price (£1.50 for buttie + drink), for the benefit of the dealers, many of whom travel long distances and therefore have left home in the early hours of the morning to arrive in Bedale by 8 a.m. to set up their stalls.  This refreshment is usually available between 9 a.m. until 10 o'clock when the doors open to the public.

The menu for the rest of the day is usually as follows - REMEMBER everything is HOME MADE - the sandwiches are always made on the morning of the Fair.  We charge £1.50 per sandwich (2 full slices of bread size) regardless of the filling - you can choose from:-

Ham,  Ham & Salad,  Egg,  Egg & Cress,  Tuna & Cucumber,  Tuna & Lettuce,  Cheese & Red Onion,  Cheese & Pickle.

Also on offer are Extra Special Chocolate Cake 70p.,  Rich Fruit Cake 60p.,  Piece of Wensleydale Cheese 20p.,  Apple Pie 60p.,

Buttered Scone - home baked - late Sat. night or early Sun. morning!  (Cheese or Fruit)  60p.,  Yorkshire Parkin 50p.

Drinks:  Tea 40p. or Coffee 60p, are constantly freshly made throughout the day.  Pure Orange or Apple Juice 50p.

 

Please bear in mind that as this Fair is run to raise funds for "Friends of Chernobyl's Children", ALL helpers are volunteers.

Almost all are either from the local farming community or have full time jobs during the week but they very loyally  give hours of their limited spare time to running this Fair, three times a year.  The aim is to make it a very friendly and enjoyable event which, hopefully, patrons will want to come back to every February, May & October each year!
