Businesses in the Stour Valley should make a note of Tuesday 30th March and plan to attend, or use the event to raise their profile.
The fair will again provide advice for businesses, whether they are large businesses or individual traders, on the business services and support available locally. It will provide a great opportunity for local businesses to promote their goods or services.
This year the fair will make a special feature of local trades and crafts, and many of the attractions will focus around these, including Master Longbow maker and world record holder Steve Stratton who will be exhibiting his bow making techniques and collection of medieval weapons.
There will be many other attractions at the fair including a return of the food hall open throughout the day and sponsored by local businesses.
The Stour Valley Business Fair is to be held on the 30th March from 4pm to 10pm at the Townsend Hall, Sheep Street, Shipston-on-Stour. The business fair is open to all local businesses and is Free to attend.
This is the event for local businesses to attend this year to meet other business owners, and discuss issues and opportunities.
