Description:The event took place at Hednesford's Drill Hall over three days. On Wednesday it was opened by Lady Lichfield, on Thursday by Mrs M.B.Williamson of Eashing, Surrey, and on Friday by Miss Florence Thorneycroft O.B.E. of Tettenhall Towers. It was themed 'All in a garden fair' with each stall bearing the name of a flower.

Two workers on the Wimblebury stall, Mrs Sunley and Mrs Field, had written to the Duchess of Kent, explaining the object of the bazaar which was to help provide support to the church, its five mission churches and two day-schools. The duchess gifted a baby's woollen outfit for sale towards the funds raised.
