Lewisham Country Fayre 08

Lewisham country fayre is back for its second successful year and will include floral frocks, prize jams, London's meatiest sausages and the best of Lewisham’s home grown talent. With Chas ‘n’ Dave leading the knees up, the fayre promises to be a fun and funny (and free) day out as well providing a quirky celebration of Lewisham's rural history.

Come and test your talents on a whole range of horticultural, craft and cookery competitions. Anyone with green fingers or artistic talents is invited to showcase their creative skills. Non-specialist, light-hearted categories are:

• best drawing with a Harvest theme


• best photograph of rural Lewisham


• funniest shaped vegetable


• best fruit or vegetable sculpture


• largest fruit or vegetable


• best flower arrangement


• best jam


• best cake
