Village Fête

Buckland Newton Village Fête takes place on August Bank Holiday Monday

Buckland Newton Village Fete 2024 – Update We are delighted to let you know that we raised £6,442.98 at our Village Fete in August and so all the groups, organisations, community clubs and events who applied for funding have received in total a record £6,600. Buckland Newton Village Fete 2025 – Appeal for help After many years, John Simpson has decided that he would like to try something new at the Fete this year, so won’t be organizing the very popular Book Stall. Therefore, we need one or more enthusiastic book lover/s to take this on. It raises a significant amount of money for the community, so it would be a shame not to have this attraction anymore. We can’t deny, this is a big task as it involves sourcing and storing the books, running the stall on the day and then disposing of the books afterwards. If you feel you are up for this challenge then please get in touch with one of the Fete Committee: Simon Colquhoun, Amanda McKenna, Kate Parish, Andy Aitkenhead, Mandy Jarvis or Lucy and Rob Nolan. Or speak to Simon when you pop in the Gaggle. We would like to thank John for his amazing efforts and I’m sure whoever takes over, he will be happy to offer any support or advice. “Thank you” Simon, Amanda, Kate, Andy, Kate, Lucy and Rob
