Funtasia 2026 - Over for Another Year
Monday 4 May 2026 - 12pm till 4.30pm
Fryern Recreation Ground ( SO53 2LE )
We would like to say a huge Thank You to Dream Empire Events for their hard work and collaboration for the 2026 Fryern Funtasia.
The day was a success with new stalls, new layout, new activities and of course some sunshine.
Check out the Facebook pages of both Dream Empire Events and Chandler's Ford Parish Council to see some of the wonderful photos taken from the day.
Our thanks, as always, to the Federation of Fryern Schools who joined us as they crowned the May King and Queen and serenaded us all thanks to their fabulous school choir before performing their Maypole dance.
Back again by popular demand was Wessex Circus with their circus workshops and arena entertainment, and Southampton Society of Model Engineers with their ride on miniature railway. This years' event saw the Hampshire Reptile Trust join us, providing an opportunity for up close encounters, along with Bernard the fire engine and a number of his friends.
Whilst 2027 seems far in advance, we are already beginning to think about next year's event. If you have a favourite stall or wish to see an old favourite return, please let us know.
We hope that you will join us again for 2027.
Save the date Monday 3 May 2027 at Fryern Recreation Ground.
