Creative Action Design enjoyed their time at the Marylebone Summer Fayre this weekend. Organised by the Howard De Walden Estate, the event had everything a traditional village fete should have – food, drink, music, children’s activities, craft stalls, farmers’ market, tombola and more. The event, while being a thoroughly good day out, had another important purpose – raising money for Kids Company, which works to provide life-changing support to vulnerable.
Monocle, the global affairs magazine, has hosted their annual Country Fayre at their HQ in Marylebone and Creative Action Design had the pleasure to take part in the celebrations. Focusing on English traditions, hosting local shopkeepers, cooking demonstrations, petting zoo and live music, the event attracted around 2,000 people over the course of the weekend.
