• Just been talking to my neighbour who thought the Plum Fayre was great, a great food fayre. She and her husband really enjoyed the gathering of local food producers in a wonderful setting unlike the food fairs held in tented villages on show grounds that lacked atmosphere. She also made mention of enjoying the  music performed about the town including the gospel singing in the Baptist Church and the Hari Krishna strollers.

• She did overhear a family discussing the day, both the parents and children felt it was the best day out this year, and there must have been alot of families on reduced family budgets enjoying a day out rather than an expensive holiday.

 

• I’d like to offer hearty congratulations to you and all the organizing committee for the Plum Festival on Monday. It really was an event to remember and probably the best yet! All the pieces of the jigsaw seemed to fit together beautifully.  The organization appeared effortlessly perfect – which I know will have meant a huge amount of hard work by many people .

 

• Spreading the attractions across the town – from Abbey Park and the Bandstand, to St Andrew’s garden and Church Street, Broad Street, the Angel, Chapman Court and the riverside – meant people had something good to do and see everywhere they went in the town.

 

• Getting onto live TV on the morning of the event was a masterstroke!    Please pass this onto the committee with my thanks.

 

• What a fab Plum Festival day today. Fantastic to see the town full of people enjoying the event, the weather and this wonderful town. So many congratulations to the plum team for another successful event. You have all done the town and yourselves proud. Take a bow all of you. 

 

• Well done to you and your team to bring something to Pershore that is well received by the local businesses and town folk.

 

• Just an email to say “THANK YOU” to the plum fest members for another great day yesterday just wanted to echo what i’ve said before in saying it really is truly amazing how many people support it. I for one am truly proud to be a part of it.

 

• I just wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic Bank Holiday atmosphere at the Plum Festival yesterday. For so many people to be teeming around Pershore and so clearly enjoying themselves is just brilliant for the town.. and for the county,  because there were certainly people there from outside Worcestershire.

 

• Vale Harmony Barbershop Chorus were absolutely delighted to be part of it and, from a personal point of view, can I say how  pleasantly and professionally you handled our request to appear, given that it was at relatively short notice.

 

• We felt it was a fantastic event that was really well promoted and generated a lot of visitors to the town – Well done! ​

 

• Absolutely LOVE the Plum Festival in our amazing Pershore. Was there for 5 hours and still only saw half of the festival.

​

• Just wanted to congratulate you on another great day at the plum fayre.. We were busy throughout the day with lots of positive feedback from all ages,with people saying how impressed they were with the organisation of the whole event.   Thank you for all your hard work and we look forward to next year.

 

• I think Pershore should be so proud of yesterdays festival. And everyone involved. It was super. 

 

• I should like to thank the whole Plum Festival team for the outstanding job they did at (and before) the Plum Fayre. The paucity of plums and indifferent weather seemed to make no difference to the number of visitors and there was plenty for them to see and do and buy.  Well done!

 

• I walked through the park at 8:15am and it was fabulous. They do the most amazing job clearing up after events... huge respect and thanks. 

 

• I returned for lunch with Hilary and Catherine at Belle House and used the Park and Ride from the college, the drivers gave out Plum Fayre brochures and we found they were very helpful. It was the first time we had been to the Fayre as a family!

 

• Well, we arrived just after 10am and when we drove past, Eddie Grundy was doing his spiel, with crowds looking on and there was a great brass band playing! Having parked, we then wandered around the square, the abbey, plum alley and the Angel – everywhere was rammed, wonderful buzz and a great atmosphere …..

 

• Anyway, it seemed to be a huge success. We did the Pershore 5 Bridges Circular walk and came back in the afternoon when it still seemed as busy. So well done – great job and you should be justly proud of the fantastic event you have created.

 

• Excellent festival this year.  I was part of the classic car display with my old Triumph.  Had a good look round the rest of it as well and all seemed extremely busy Congratulations – you must be delighted!

​

• Bank holiday weekend at the Pershore Plum festival, not only was the sun out, local and families from afar joined on yet another brilliant event.
