Sandbourne Victorian Fayre

Bonnets compulsory, moustaches encouraged. A seafront fayre with penny-farthing races and a fiercely judged pickled-onion class.

Charming seafront setting, and the pickled onion class got genuinely heated. Loved it.

Colin B. 31/50 13 Jul 2026

Excellent bonnets. Tombola was all cooking oil and no chocolate. Bring your own umbrella.

Margaret T. 34/50 13 Jul 2026

The penny-farthing race was worth the train fare alone. Cream teas a touch stingy on the jam.
