BANK Holiday Monday will see the town's most popular charity event return to Whitehall Recreation Ground.

The Rugby Spring Fair returns to its traditional home after two years away due to the building of the new Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Sports Centre.

There will be local and national charity stalls, specialist business stalls, food stalls and fairground rides.

Dance, gym, martial arts and other groups will display their skills in the main arena.

Organiser Ian Bentlett, of Rugby Dunsmore Rotary Club, said: “This is a major family fun day for the people of Rugby and the site is close to the town centre. We hope to see our usual enthusiastic crowds at this event.”

The Spring Fair is one of the town's most popular family events, with regular attendances of up to 10,000. It has been organised by volunteers annually for the last 36 years.

It takes place from 11.30am to 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday (May 5).
