Summer Fete

Summer is around the corner..... well, almost! What better way to kick off the season than to attend our Summer Fete on Saturday 14th June! We've got an exciting line up of activities that are sure to entertain both young and old.

Come and join us for a fun-filled day with lots of games, stalls, and activities. Test your skills at our carnival-style games and win exciting prizes. We've got something for everyone, from traditional games like hook-a-duck to modern favourites like ring toss and vintage high striker, AND Mr Pop's Balloons will be there to shift and shape those balloons into some amazing creatures!

After all the excitement, why not take a break and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea? We've got a selection of cakes and beverages that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

But that's not all - we've also got a car wash on site, so you can get your vehicle looking sparkling clean while you enjoy the festivities.

And if that's not enough to entice you, we're thrilled to announce that the local fire brigade* and police* will be making appearances at the fete. You'll have the chance to meet and greet with these community heroes and learn more about what they do to keep us safe.

AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!!

So what are you waiting for? Come along to our Summer Fete and enjoy a day of fun and laughter with friends and family. We can't wait to see you there!
