KidzFair gives children and young people the chance to turn their idea into a real business, earn their own money, get prizes and recognition from the judging panel, and ultimately learn through experience.

The event was attended by Mayor of Great Dunmow Cllr Alex Armstrong, and supported by local businesses including The Chameleon Café and Mrs M's Sweets.
