Winchester Hat Fair and Storytelling

Wherever you look there seems to be an abundance of hats!  Increased appearance in the media since the Royal wedding last year, the beginning of the month for the Jubilee and today the start of Ascot. Now it's festival time and in Hampshire alone there are many more hats set to come...


Winchester Hat Fair, Britain's longest running Festival of Street Theatre and Outdoor Arts, returns annually on the first weekend of July from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th July 2012. A crazy, colourful celebration of theatre and music, now in its 37th year, where entertainers perform voluntarily in exchange for money to be thrown into their hats. 


Alas I will be out of the county that weekend BUT in honour of the event we will be dedicating our next story gathering at the Hyde Tavern to the topic.

Join us 8pm on the 11th of July for  HATS and TALES  

Stories of Hats, Veils, Heads or however else our regular storytellers interpret the theme!
