Wessex Country Fair comes to Wilton House in aid of Salisbury Hospice Charity

Thursday, 28 July 2022 01:00

The Wessex Country Fair hosted by Salisbury Hospice Charity will take place on the idyllic Wilton House Estate on Saturday 6th August.

The event is set to keep the whole family entertained from 11am with arena acts, live music, shopping, vehicle displays, dog show and a funfair.

New for this year, evening entertainment kicks off from 5.30pm with country bangers from agricultural hip-hop artist Corky, country rambles and ‘folk-ish’ songs from The Acrustic Badger Band and hits from West Country legends, The Wurzels.

The fair will also welcome Salisbury Young Farmers, who will be hosting a series of country games in the main arena.

The event raises vital funds for Salisbury Hospice. Take a visit to the Hospice Village, which is at the heart of the Wessex Country Fair and will provide the opportunity to chat with experienced staff about hospice services.

Attendees can try their hand at some of the therapies Salisbury Hospice patients experience such as pebble painting, horticultural therapy and craft activities. Relax away from the hustle and bustle and receive a massage from one of our experienced complementary therapists and for that added sense of wellbeing, say hello to the therapy dogs.

"Come and learn about how the Hospice supports the community," said a spokesperson for Salisbury Hospice Charity.

There’s just a few days left to book advanced tickets to The Ultimate Wessex Country Fair and save up to 20% off entry fees.
