Huge crowds visit village fayre
Bacton Village Fete
HUNDREDS flocked to Bacton at the weekend for the village’s popular flower show and fayre.
The crowds, of more than 1,500 people, were entertained by a spectacular parachute display from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment parachute display team, a vintage and classic car show, African drumming and dance classes and performances by the Stowmarket Concert Band.
The show also featured, for the first time, a live music stage sponsored by the John Peel Centre nicknamed BacFest featuring a host of local musical talent.
Bacton Flower Show and Fayre committee member Phillip Jeffries said the event had been a tremendous success.
He said: “It all went really well - there was something for everyone of all age groups.

“We did have a couple of showers but because we have so much tentage the visitors ran undercover when it rained, then rushed back out when it had stopped.”
