Fair's 800th anniversary celebrations continue with children's cake contest

Children were encouraged to bake a biscuit, cookie or cupcake inspired by the Loughborough Markets and Fair.

Charnwood Borough Council invited children to bake a biscuit, cookie or cupcake inspired by the Loughborough Markets and Fair and bring it along to the event stand in Loughborough town centre on Saturday August 14.

The competition was judged by Cllr Jenny Bokor, lead member for Loughborough, and market traders Steph Smith from Smiths Fruit and Veg, Tony Simons from Tony’s Eggs, Elaine Round from I-Fruit and Tracey Whellams from Belvoir Bakery.

Cllr Bokor said: “It was great to be part of this fun, family-friendly event to celebrate the 800 years anniversary.

“There have been some wonderful, imaginative creations and I would like to thank all the organisers and judges, and the children who entered the competition. I have had a lot of fun and I hope the competitors have too.”

The judges split the creative and colourful entries into three categories; Best Fair, Best Market and Best Made-On-The-Day.
