Spend the day in the grounds of Ely Cathedral on 30 May for the Etheldreda Craft and Food Fair. This traditional English fete will see Palace Green come alive with over 40 colourful stalls selling jewellery, crafts, plants, local food and summer produce, beneath the impressive ramparts of Ely Cathedral.
In keeping with country fair traditions, visitors will be able to try their luck on the tombola and test their aim at the coconut shy, then sit back with a Pimm’s and a bowl of strawberries and cream on the Cathedral lawns.
You can also pick up bacon rolls, afternoon tea, delicious cakes and even champagne if you’re feeling flush. All profits from the fair go to the Ely Cathedral Choir Tour Fund.
The Etheldreda Fair has been going since 1990 and is named after the founding Abbess of the first Abbey in Ely. It takes place 10am-5pm.
