Written by Pied Pouldre
The historical market organisers, Soutares ond Clerces (www.soutares.freeuk.com), have written to let us know about the Templars Fayre at Sacrewell Farm Centre on the 17th-18th May. The centre is just North of Peterborough, next to the junction of the A1 and the A47. There will be traders for all kinds, selling items from the Roman period to 1700. The centre also provides fun for the kids with a very large play area and animals to see.
Tickets are discounted for those who buy them in advance, the cost being £4.00 each (normally £6.00 for adults and £4.50 for children). For advanced bookings please contact Alex or Pam of Soutares ond Clerces by telephone on 01304381699 or 0771 8190100.
