What’s On:

• Traditional fete stalls: homemade cakes and teas, crafts, plants, books, and bric-a-brac.
• Classic games and activities: coconut shy, skittles, welly-wanging, and more.
• Delicious food and drink: BBQ, beer tent, ice creams, teas, and refreshments.
• Live entertainment: family-friendly music, children’s games, and local demonstrations.

If you’d like to run a stall, donate raffle prizes, or help on the day, we’d love to hear from you! Follow us on Facebook for updates: facebook.com/ShotteswellFete

2015 Shotteswell Fete

The 2015 fete raised a magnificent sum of £2,500. A donation of £1,000 each was made to the Church and Village Hall. The remaining funds were used to purchase the large tea tent for future fetes, which will eventually be available for hire. A huge thank you to all who attended or contributed in any way—the attractions, entertainers, stall holders, tea ladies, BBQ & Beer tent staff, and the committee. We look forward to seeing you on 2nd July 2016!
