Shropshire-based SWS Broadband will be the key sponsor of this year’s Michaelmas Fair in Bishop’s Castle as it reiterates its commitment to rural communities.
The event is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a range of activities including vintage car, steam engine, lantern and model animal processions, exhibitions and carnival floats. Over 30 handicrafts, collectibles, food, and plant stallholders will offer their wares and bands will perform live music throughout the day.
“SWS is happy to be supporting this important event in the Bishop’s Castle calendar, a showcase for all that is good about life in a rural area,” said Sales Director Rachel Corner.
“Improved connectivity is one of many elements enabling small towns like Bishop’s Castle to survive in the modern world and fibre can make a significant contribution to this community’s growth, productivity and sustainability.”
Rob McKay, chair of the Michaelmas committee added: “This would not be possible without the help of SWS Broadband, which has kindly stepped in help make sure that this wonderful community event can happen.”
