Keswick Victorian Fayre

Great response to our Club's Stall at the Victorian Fayre

At a very wet Keswick Victorian Fayre, once again Keswick Rotary put on a great show and won the accolade of Best Dressed Stall, presented by local MP Marcus Campbell Savours.

The event is held annually and is organised jointly by Keswick and Bassenthwaite Rotary Clubs and Keswick Lions.

It provides the opportunity for local Charities to raise funds by having their own stall. Visitors are attracted from a wide area both by the variety of stalls and the entertainment programme.

This year our Club's stall featured home made cakes and real coffee, sale of holly and hyacinths and that old favourite game 'whack the rat'.
