Binstead Primary School Summer Fayre

Binstead Primary School Summer Fayre packs in a fire engine, helter skelter, circus skills, face painting, pizza, ice cream and a £100 cash raffle.

Presented by The Friends of Binstead Primary School

Binstead Primary School Summer Fayre at Binstead Primary School sounds like one of those events where children clock six things they want to do before you have reached the gate. The poster throws plenty at it: a fire engine, Nerf games, beat the goalie, helter skelter, circus skills with Sun Drum Active Youth, face painting and potion making, which is more than enough to turn a school field into a proper family afternoon.

Food and treat stops are covered too, with Rollin Pizzas and Wight Ices listed, so you are not relying on a single tea urn and a packet of crisps to carry the mood. The £100 cash raffle gives the grown-ups a reason to pay attention, and there is enough variation in the activities that siblings with completely different ideas of fun should still find their own lane. These are the details that stop a summer fayre feeling token and make it worth pencilling in.

If you are after a family plan that feels local, busy and easy to understand, this is exactly that. Binstead Primary School is a familiar north-east Wight base for parents, and the whole thing fits neatly with the island's family events rather than a vague all-ages label. Arrive with a bit of cash, leave room for pizza and expect children to want one more go at something before you can get them back to the car.
