Jericho Street Fair organisers are hoping for sunny weather this weekend.

The street fair featuring about 30 stalls takes place on Saturday in Canal Street near the community centre and is the centrepiece of three days of Jericho Fest activities starting on Friday and finishing on Sunday.

The festivities are being organised by Jericho Community Association, chaired by Charlotte Christie.

The community association website says: "Jericho's big summer weekend starts with live music at St Barnabas Church on Friday, all the fun of the Jericho Street Fair on Saturday and Run Jericho on the Sunday morning, finishing with a Festival Mass at the church on Sunday afternoon.

"As ever the street rair will be supported by a raffle with wonderful prizes donated by local businesses."

Peter Stalker, treasurer of Jericho Community Association, said the annual street fair started about 30 years ago.

"There will be stalls with people selling all sorts of things - jewellery, bric-a-brac, clothes, ceramics, and Caribbean food and Thai food.

"People come from all over the place not just Jericho - there will be thousands attending over the whole weekend.

"Of course we want the weather to be sunny for the street fair and for the runners taking part in Run Jericho on the Sunday.

"It's a great community event and sometimes you see people you haven't seen since the last street fair."
