The St Andrew’s Giant Craft and Collectable Fair he started 25 years ago has grown into one of the most popular in the region. It has run twice a year – on Labour Day and Auckland Anniversary Day pretty much throughout that time – and attracts thousands of people to Cambridge.
He has also laid on other fairs in between, with ever-increasing numbers of stall holders joining the throng, most of them from around the North Island but some from further afield.
Dunn has 143 stalls booked for the Labour Day fair on October 28, running at St Andrew’s Church from 10am.
At around that time, the Cambridge Brass Band will play selections from their 2024 concerts. At 11am the Baroque Ensemble will give a performance featuring organ and trumpet, and at 12 noon, the Cambridge Little Big Band will present a set of jazz classics.
