Has anyone else heard of this event in our neighbouring village. It sounds quite good by all accounts in that it is FREE. There are stalls all day and bands playing on the river outside the Jolly Fisherman pub.

No Morris dancers I fear but there is a climbing wall, beat the goalie, eat your heart out David James, Indian food, and lots of stalls. There will also be a light show on the river to accompany the bands of which there are five. all the money raised goes towards a youth club for the village...

I think we need to put a warning out. Make sure that everyone one checks the tops of all the building in Ware when the morris dancers are around we think there maybe a man going by the name of Monkee on one of them with a large machine gun lol!![;)]

Hmmm...Stanstead Abbotts...how come it also seems to be called St Margarets? Is it two places become one?

Tony, I think everything to the left of the railway station, looking down towards the Clock comes under STANSTEAD ABBOTTS, everything to its right is called (ST MARGARETS).

In fact the boundary line is the River Lea, interestingly the festival is being held on the St Margaret's side of the river but is being organised by Stanstead Abbotts - bit of a land grab going on there...

it sounds like it might be worth a few hours sitting by the jolly fisherman. Even the food is very good.

It would be lovely - in fact we could all have our Drinky Poos there - what say we all meet up at 7pm under the bridge in Stanstead Abbotts and have a chat and enjoy the music - we could have a picnic on the river....what do you say???

7.00 sounds good to us, the bridge is just opposite the jolly fisherman's car park, if the weather is nice we should be in for a pleasent evening. Lets hope for a good turn out from W O L members.[^]

Well the weather killed of the event to some degree, but still a lot of people turned up to support this event, We left around 4.00 but we did return at 6.45 pint in hand standing under the bridge awaiting other members of WOL but alas no one came. The band took shelter inside the Jolly Fisherman, (i thought this to be a good idea as it saved time getting another drink) do to the downpour. It turned out to be a great Evening and was enjoyed by a packed out pub. For all those that missed it look forward to next year as i think it will only get bigger and better.

Yes, Plus 1, is was a fantastic day despite the downpours. I was there too and I met two wareonliners, one of which could have been you Plus 1. The bands were great...really rockin' and the climbing wall was good, but a bit too much for me to scale. As you say - it will be bigger and better next year!!!!!
