Autumn fair, Clapton-in-Gordano.
A pumpkin trail treasure hunt, spooky biscuit icing, pumpkin painting and a Halloween themed fancy dress competition for the children are just some of the seasonal activities on offer at the Sperrings Country Fair this month.
The country fairs held on the last Saturday of the month at Sperrings Equestrian Centre in Clapton-in-Gordano throughout the summer have proved so popular that the organisers have invested in a bell tent to help them continue the local markets during the autumn.
The autumn fair on October 30 offers alternatives to trick or treating with plenty of topical activities for the children and there will also be the usual array of stalls selling handcrafted goods and local produce.
There will also be teas, coffee and cakes and The Country Cabin gift shop will be open. The event will run from 10am-2pm at the Moor Lane centre.
