Rosie’s Fun Day

6 Replies

On the Market Pace in Abingdon throughout today there was a fun day to raise funds to get Rosie, a local girl, a disability bicycle.

It was a big event that took up all of the Market Place, and it was well attended. Those taking part included:
Rosies Fun Day
A frog man riding a bicycle for sponsorship.
Rosies Fun Day
Peppa the Pig.

A bubble man

There were even some horses giving lots of rides, and stalls with games and people with buckets collecting money.

Instead there was a visit from a new Italian Market on Friday and Saturday. But the attraction of Parmigiano Reggiano, prosciutto, salame, olives, extra virgin olive oils and much more failed to bring in the crowds to Abingdon Market Place – on a grey couple of days.

Last weekend The Local Excellence Market had a better time of it with Abingdon’s Own Patisserie Pascal being one of the stall holders.

The Abingdon Mummers were giving their Traditional Performance round the pubs of Abingdon on Thursday night.

Church in Abingdon Carol Singers, collecting for ‘Christian Aid’, were on the Market Place the next morning for the Farmer Market.

The Farmer’s Market is, as you might expect, predominantly food,

and an alternative to supermarkets for those who can get to the town centre on Fridays.
