Challenge

This year we have set a challenge to the Desire Fair exhibitors - The Spirit of Waterperry Matchbox Challenge. Exhibitors will be creating a non-jewellery piece of work which will be no larger than a cook's matchbox (12cm by 6.6cm). We can't wait to see what they produce!

The competition is supported by Oxford Mail and the winners will be announced on the first day of the show.

Entries can be viewed in Waterperry House until 2pm on Sunday and are also available to purchase.
