Bewdley in Worcestershire was a major hub for a thriving cherry trade and a renowned annual Cherry Fayre, with traditions dating back to at least 1817. The town held a famous annual Cherry Fair. Historical records indicate that in 1907, as many as 200 carts filled with cherries entered the town for the fair. Today, Bewdley Museum hosts an annual Cherry Fayre and 1940s weekend to celebrate this heritage. 

Historically, Bewdley's surrounding areas featured extensive cherry orchards, which became highly lucrative during the Industrial Revolution as urban markets for the fruit grew.

The tradition is now honoured annually at Bewdley Museum, featuring local cherries, trees, and live music performances in the Green Theatre in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Gardens.

The weekend will also include 1940s re-enactors, classic 40s and 50s cars, the museum's air-raid shelter opening to visitors, and our education room will be open, with 1940s artefacts on show, with our fabulous Education team talking about WWII. There will be a variety of craft stalls, including our resident craftspeople and Bewdley Civic Society stall and raffle. A variety of cherries and cherry trees will also be available to buy.

We have live entertainment from 1pm until 3.30pm both days. Saturday, we have Kevin Mac from 1.30pm - 3.30pm and on Sunday, Wyre Forest Big Band will be performing from 1.30pm - 3.30pm.

Do come along for an enjoyable weekend, bring your picnic chairs, and set up a relaxing spot in Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Gardens.

Refreshments and a BBQ are available from 10am - 4.pm by the Garden Kitchen Cafe.
