This year’s event promises a vibrant blend of tradition, local talent, and rural heritage—bringing together residents, visitors, and community groups for a day that celebrates everything that makes the village special.

The Pulborough Harvest Fair is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration of our village—but we can’t do it without the community behind it. We’re looking for volunteers to help before the event, on the day, and with the clear‑up on Sunday.
If you can spare a little time to help, your support will make a real difference.
A day helper would join a list of people who are happy to come along to help set up and run the event.
- Put up banners and bunting,
- Guide stall holders to the agreed sites
- Act as a steward for the show ring
- Sell raffle tickets
- Help pack up after the event
If you are on the list, you’ll be contacted some weeks beforehand and briefed on your tasks to make your part of the plan happen.
It’s a great way to contribute to a much‑loved local tradition, and be part of something joyful.
Every pair of hands counts.
