Bill Bailey Jazz Band

Christ Church Swindon is holding a vintage style Old Town Autumn Fayre in the church grounds and new Community Centre on Saturday 20^th September 12noon – 4pm.   With delicious food outlets and live music from the superb Bill Bailey Jazz Band, vintage swing boats and traditional games from Hoopla to Beat the Goalie, there is something to entertain the whole family in this free to enter event.   Enjoy the real ale and cider tent, or indulge in a gorgeous cake in the decorative Tea Garden. If you fancy hot and savoury there will be a barbeque with locally sourced burgers and sausages and African street food dishes.   If a spell in the stocks isn’t your thing, there’ll be craft and heritage stalls, plants to brighten up your garden and local produce to purchase.   You can try your hand at bell ringing a mere 46 steps up into the church tower, win a ride in a fabulous vintage car, enjoy Commonweal School A Cappella Singers and discover more about Swindon and the 1^st World War with a fascinating display of artefacts and costumes.   Event Organiser Daphne Hardwick said: “We are delighted that so many organisations are keen to take part in this local community event. It’s going to be great fun and we look forward to seeing lots of people on the day.  The new Community Centre @Christ Church opened by Nick Hewer earlier this year has already proved a massive hit with local groups and has provided a lovely new venue to support the Old Town Autumn Fayre.”
