The Wallington Strawberry Fair is one of the highlights of the Autumn Calendar every year with thousands of people enjoying a wonderful day on the school grounds in a festive rural setting.  The day helps raise funds for the Wallington Primary School and celebrates the beautiful locally grown strawberries that are one of the juiciest around.
On the day expect many culinary delights on sale including delicious homemade strawberry jams, choc-dipped strawberries, strawberriesserved with pavlova, strawberries and cream, strawberries and pancakes, and Devonshire teas. There are plenty of other gourmet delights available including local wines!

Whilst enjoying all the taste sensations sit back and be entertained by this year’s amazingly talented line up including:

* Ethan Karpathy (from the Voice Kids) a great young singer
* Tayla Haigh – amazing local singer/songwriter, who also teaches singing at Wallington PS
* Dazzling Dan the Magic Man – a crowd favourite for both young and old
* The Tiny Giants – Jasper Jolley, Etienne Mantelli, George Wilson (son of the legendary Chris Wilson)
* Jamie Pye – another amazing young local artist
* Andrea Robertson and band – a group of local artist with a sweet and soulful sound

Aside from the above mentioned performers we have plenty more to keep the whole family entertained, including face painting, pony rides, a giant auction, mobile animal patting farm, lucky dips, show bags, poo lotto and a vast array of market stalls. You may even stumble into a Flashmob!!

The Strawberry fair really is a great day out for the whole family, no matter what your interests there is something for everyone. There is plenty of off road parking available on the day. We ask that on the day you leave your beloved dogs at home, for the best interests of all in attendance.
