Old fashioned village Fête in lovely setting with masses of sideshows and children's games. Plants - Cakes - Books - Home Produce - Bric-a-Brac - Punch & Judy - Skittles - Grand Raffle - Teas - Ice creams - Tombola - Nearly New - Pimms and Beer Tent - BBQ.  Adults £1.00, Children Free.  Free level Car Park at the "Gaggle of Geese".  Sorry, no dogs allowed in Fête field.

In the event of really bad weather, the Fete still takes place but in the newly-refurbished Village Hall, so don't let rain put you off!

The Fete is in aid of local village activities and goes a long way to supporting and improving village facilities.
