Wellington College Tianjin Charity Summer Fair 2021

On Saturday 15th May 2021, the Wellington community came together to celebrate the annual Summer Fair, which was this year aptly entitled ‘Our Family - Our Community’. The event was attended by over 1500 friends of the school who came together to celebrate, have fun and support Wellington College Tianjin’s many charitable projects.

A distinctly international atmosphere characterised the event, with food and refreshments from around the world, prepared with all ages in mind. Although the weather proved to be stubbornly British on the day, it did not dampen the spirits of the guests as they enjoyed various activities, from ‘D’ to ‘guess the baby photo’. The audience at the main stage was treated to an array of over 20 wonderful performances from both pupils and friends of the Wellington community. There was even an appearance by the recently-formed staff band, the ‘Droogs’.

As with any charity event, many sponsors helped us with very generous donations amounting to over 90,000RMB in prizes for our raffle draw. This is always a highlight at the end of the fair and there were many happy winners. We would like to extend our thanks to all our sponsors, booth participants and of course our Wellington community, who despite the wet weather turned out to support the College in this very worthwhile cause.
