St Jude's Fair is a major fundraising event for the parish, held on a Saturday each year scheduled between late February and late March depending on the Easter calendar.   In 2010, the fair will be held on Saturday 20th March between 12 noon and 10:00pm. While this event raises valuable funds for our parish, it also builds community spirit among all the people involved who support as well as offer their time and talents to this endeavour.

Held in the grounds of St Jude's Primary School in Scoresby, the event offers musical and dance entertainment, amusements and rides for children of all ages, food stalls featuring a range of local and international culinary tastes, a series of variety stalls including plants, pre-loved books and toys, raffles, and a favourite, the Trash & Treasure stall.

Of course, let's not forget the famous Big Wheel which offers numerous chances to win from an absolutely huge range of prizes.

The Entertainment Programme is a highlight of the fair with dance and musical performances featuring on centre stage. We see talent from the young and very young coming from our parish community, our primary schools and associated senior schools. In last year's programme we saw students from St Jude's Primary School, Holy Trinity Primary School, Mater Christi College, Emmaus College, Mazenod College, St Josephs College and also the St Jude's Youth Group Band. covering Blue's, Soul, Rock, Orchestral, Ensemble and Quartet styles of musical performance.
