Yoxford-Oxfayre Home

A charity of
Yoxford Village
in the ‘garden of
Suffolk’, UK

The highlight of the Yoxford village's events calendar, the annual end-of-summer Oxfayre was established in 1992 by Andy Dunn and has been in the capable hands of Chairman James Childs (with more than a little help from his friends). James will be handing over the mantle to Laura McClements from October. On Saturday, 4 September 2010 we celebrated the 19th Oxfayre.

Yoxford Oxfayre is the charity of Yoxford Village. It raises money through various events throughout the year - the major of which being the annual Oxfayre. This popular occasion starts with a parade through the High Street, followed by the Fayre itself in and around the Village Hall.

Funds raised from our events are used to benefit a variety of activities in the Village. Recent donations have been given to the local cricket club; the Parish Council to supply a picnic bench in Mulberry Park; the village playgroup, and the Yoxford Primary school to help fund the Eastfeast project and refurbish their swimming pool.

Other occasions we arrange are the best free fireworks display in the area; free children’s events including a post-Christmas party; Easter egg hunt; dance nights; Christmas carol singing and lots more.

Oxfayre 2009 saw us celebrating the 19th Oxfayre and it was a huge success. The weather was kind and the visitors numerous.

The parade consisted of a wonderful selection of heroes and villains (see the gallery for pics) and was led along Yoxford High Street by the wonderful Woodbridge Brass Band.

Visitors and villagers lined the street to cheer them all on their way.

The Fayre was opened by the Queen Chloe Wickins (shown left) who was ably attended by Angel and Zac.
