This year’s June Faire at venerable The British Home in Sierra Madre promises to be even bigger and better than ever. The annual event will be held on Saturday, June 4th from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Admission is free and readers are invited to enjoy the beautiful grounds of The British Home, which serve as the perfect setting for the Faire.
The whole family is provided for with many booths, games, and refreshments.
During the Faire there will be live displays of Scottish and Irish dancing as well as a performance by the Rising Phoenix Morris Dancers. Children can enjoy a sticky wall,
inflatable bouncy castle, face painting and game booths.
The British Consul-General, Dame Barbara Hay, will open the Faire at 10 a.m. following the parade of flags which will be accompanied by a Scottish piper. There will be a variety of booths selling books, garden plants, birdhouses, jewelry, collectibles, cards and lots more. Refreshment choices all emphasize the British influence on the Faire from
English bangers, a Victorian style tea on the patio or a ploughman’s lunch to home-baked goods including sausage rolls, Cornish pasties, cakes and scones.
In September The British Home will celebrate 80 years of providing personalized care to its residents. It is a non-profit organization which, as a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, welcomes seniors who come from all nationalities, races and religions.
The Home is located at 647 Manzanita Avenue, Sierra Madre.
