Shepperton Village Fair is a huge event that brings together thousands of people in close proximity to celebrate community life. In 2020, its continuous run of 47 events was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, an intrusion that has since caused wide-spread disruption, distress and for some, irreparable loss. While we all continue to wait for the combination of remarkable science and amazing community response to recov-er a position of stability, the pandemic and its effects rumble on.
Shepperton Village Fair must do its bit too. The Committee has concluded that in the interests of public safety the Fair cannot go ahead in 2021, a decision that has been endorsed by Spelthorne Borough Council. The fact is, we cannot risk an event whose very format depends on large numbers of people doing the exact opposite of what we have all been doing for over a year.
Our hugely supportive Council has made it clear that they will work very closely with us to help bring about the best possible re-launch of the Fair on Sat 11 Jun 2022. We very much hope to see you then.
