@Cat_knits Our very intensely detailed health and safety plan has a high wind management plan among other sections we could consider.

We haven’t had to cancel one yet since 1977 apart from for Covid.

On Sunday the forecast is currently for 100% good shopping, food and entertainment.

There’s also a current forecast for up to 90% of a little bit of rain.

We don’t have a postponement day for the fair, because of the logistics and approvals needed for road closures.

[Thorndon Fair @ThorndonFair]

Along with lots of shopping, we also have a great entertainment zone in Premier House. Here is the line up of performers for Sunday.

It’s all go for this Sunday. We are so looking forward to bringing you another wonderful fair.

Waste Management makes up a significant amount of the costs we pay for the fair.

We would like to acknowledge a funding grant from @WgtnCC towards our waste management costs.

At the fair we are committed to minimising the waste and the environmental footprint from the event.

To be able to run the fair down the gorgeous Tinakori Road, we need to close some roads.

Here’s the road closure information and map for 3 December.

We acknowledge that road closures can be frustrating for some people, so wanting to thank you for your patience in advance.

We recommend that people consider bringing cash along to the fair just in case.

The nearest cash out facilities are at least ten minutes walk from the fair.
