The Cabrera Fiesta was held on Saturday 5th June
The Cabrera Fiesta was a success again this year. The Music from the Piped Musicians, DJ Steve Fear from Choice FM, The Opera Singer, the Flamenco Dancers, Kyle from Turre and Arriba Arriba were all great. And not forgetting the Belly Dancer who went down a real treat
The stilt walkers were back again this year, so was Splat the Rat! And crazy golf which was manned by Graham & Trisha Meeks.
There were stalls from Donna Fashions, The Paws Stall were I got 2 fantastic pairs of shoes and a belt - really great value for money.
The Bric a Brac was there again. Horse riding from Rancho de Cabrera. The Spanish brought their horses up as well. Damian ran the Fiesta Bar, and it went down a treat. Lots of tapas, burgers and more. Beer and Wines. Postres and Cocktails at Los Pastores as well. Back on the diet now, but nice to go mad just for one day.
