Roll up! Roll up! The Stanley School Fair is on Saturday 17 May 2025 between 2.30-5.30pm and we're doing things a little bit differently this year. It's a ticketed event and included in the cost of a child's ticket, we're running some awesome circus themed activities.

We'll be welcoming the Lucas Jet Circus, who will run a circus skills workshop for us between 2.45-3.30pm on the field, where children can perfect lots of clever new tricks. Then at 4pm, they're all invited to the Circus Show in the gym, where the space will be transformed into a big top, complete with a ring mat and astounding performers, bringing a truly authentic circus experience to Stanley School. But that's not all folks …

Dramacube will be running "The Greatest Showman" workshop where they'll be teaching the children a song and routine from the show. Mathenesium will be running a maths workshop, ably assisted by their mascot, Ace. There will be an array of games on the playing field, from giant skittles, a football goal target, a Tug of War and best of all, an opportunity to Soak a Teacher, accompanied by tunes from our wonderful DJ. But that's still not all folks …

It's a family day out and grown-ups can relax on our sports field, enjoying a glass of something cold and yummy, munching on a delicious slice of pizza whilst your children spend the WHOLE afternoon enjoying all the activities included in the ticket (£10 per child). And although grown-ups don't need to buy tickets for themselves, they are automatically entered into our sensational Raffle, where you can win some amazing prizes, including £200 of John Lewis vouchers (sponsored by Mathenesium), a holiday camp voucher from Little Gym, a huge gift basket from Robinson's, 2 tickets for The Good, The Bad and The Rugby at Hampton Court Palace and so much more.

And best of all? The weather is going to be absolutely fantastic on Saturday, just in time for our awesome family day out.
