All funds raised by Wokingham Lions Club from the May Fayre will be supporting charities and good causes, mainly in the local Wokingham area.
May Fayre Chairman, Andy Goffin is looking forward to this year’s event - “2026 is the 30th Wokingham May Fayre. Commencing in 1995, the May Fayre has run every year apart from 2020 and 2021 during the Covid Pandemic and we are overjoyed to have made this significant milestone. Organised by the Wokingham Lions Club, it is one of the largest street fairs in the south of England. The main goals of the May Fayre are to provide a low-cost and fun family event in Wokingham, and to enable local charities and other groups to raise money for their own good causes. It is a wonderful day out for families and people of all ages, with entertainment throughout the town, where we celebrate the town’s culture.
Wokingham Lions Club is working extremely hard to make it a success. Our thanks go to Wokingham Town Council, who give us such tremendous support as well as Clifton Ingram, our main sponsor.”
Wokingham Lions Club would also like to thank the following sponsors; The Wokingham Society, Allder Glass LTD, Blandy & Blandy Solicitors and Melanie Curtis Accountants.
Wokingham Lions Club are always pleased to welcome new sponsors, supporters and on-the-day volunteers - drop us a message!
