To the manor
they flocked
The crowds flocked into Wolverton Manor’s
Annual Garden Fair to enjoy an array of
entertainment, and raise money for Age UK
IW.
The Elizabethan theme saw dancing,
falconry displays and a variety of Tudor
games, as well as archery, a demonstration
by Canine Partners, and kayak rides. There
was also a good variety of plants on sale to
tempt buyers.
Military vehicles and historic cars were also
on show, along with wood carving displays
and demonstrations on the art of spinning by
the IW Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers.
Around 7,000 people attended the two-day
event, and it was anticipated that around
£14,000 would be raised for Age UK IW.
