June Boot, Craft and Produce Fair
The morning of Sunday 6th June dawned cloudy but dry. Before long, the Martello Field was invaded by stallholders to set up and sell their wares.

Regretfully, the limits placed on the number of stallholders due to social distancing requirements, resulted in 10 potential stallholders being refused entry.
By 9 o’clock, the Martello Field was occupied by the stallholders potential customers who followed the one-way system in place around the arena investigating the numerous opportunities for a bargain.
Stallholders included those selling bespoke clocks, cards of local views and several selling plants – there seemed to be countless tomato plants, as well as standard roses, hanging baskets and bedding plants – whilst other stalls offered some less common wares such as fishing rods, a guitar, a barometer, model yachts, sewing machines, pushchairs, and the kitchen sink!
The next Seaford Rotary Boot, Craft and Produce Fair will be held on 4th July.
