What happened in 2011?
Well we had a lovely day and it's estimated that around 4,000 people came.
We had:
Pedal-powered and solar stage provided by Veggiepower with live entertainment throughout the day with local bands
Around 100 stalls: crafts and eco-gifts, plants, money saving tips, green fashion, wildlife conservation, campaigns, energy saving
Street entertainers, a Green Motor show, a therapy area, poets, swing dancers, get fit
Art displays and demonstrations of green crafts and technology like bushcraft skills and building a cob oven
Lots of action for children: games, rides, art and crafts, face painting, circus skills, hula hoops, story-tellers, bouncy castle, solar challenge, parade, competitions
Lots of food and drink stalls selling local, organic & homegrown food. Café-bar and gallery
Free fun for all the family.

Portsmouth Summer Fair and Picnic 25th June 11-4 in Victoria Park, Portsmouth PO1 2BG
Free Entry Fun for all the Family
Pedal-powered live music with local bands and DJs, Games and rides, Children’s crafts and competitions, Green themed stalls, Café bar and food stalls, Green transport show.
We aim to make the Fair a family-friendly event with lots of activities for children: crafts, games, circus skills, rides, face-painting, a treasure hunt, story tellers, a wizard and lots more.
We’d really welcome the involvement of local schools. Why not come along and show people what you have been doing, maybe race your solar challenge triumphs? If a group would like to do a short performance or take part in a parade of recycled costumes, that would be great.
