The biennial Eridge Summer Fair is held in the lovely private gardens at Eridge Park by kind permission of Lord and Lady Abergavenny.

- More fabulous prizes too numerous to list here
As well as all the traditional sideshows, bargain hunters can head for the massive Trash and Treasure stand, or browse the 1000s of 2nd hand books videos, DVDs, CDs, etc in the Books and Media tent.
The Fashion Boutique offering vintage to nearly new fashion is always popular and visitors can see local models show off some of the best pieces in our Catwalk Fashion Show. But save some money for the tea tent serving delicious sandwiches and locally baked cakes.
The Fair raises money for The Hospice in the Weald and other local causes. We look look forward to seeing you all on the day, admission is £3.00 for adults and £1.50 for children. Please note that dogs are not allowed in the garden.
There's still time to make contributions. If you'd like to make some space we'd love to have your books, trash & treasure, jewellery, nearly new fashion, etc. Contact Antony Freeman, antony@maytech.net, 01892 86122 for details.
