This year's Village Fete will be on the afternoon of Saturday 6th. July, and the Fete Committee are busy organising another exciting fund raiser for the Village Hall and All Saints' Church.
The overall purpose of this fun event is to bring the community together and raise funds for the Vilage Hall and All Saints' Church. For a £20 fee, local businesses or individuals can have a stall.
Last year the Fete made a profit of £4,590, which was shared equally between the Charity and All Saints'. The Chariity's share contributed to the cost of installation of the solar panels on the Village Hall roof.
We are hoping to do even better this year, but need sponsors of entertainments and prizes. Also needed are volunteers to help set up in the morning run stalls during the event and help clear away afterwards.
FIREWORKS AND HALLOWEEN FUN
The Charity organised Fireworks & Halloween Fun events in 2021, 2022 & 2023, with profits shared with All Saints Church. The 2023 profit was down on the previous two years, and the Fund-\Raising Committee decided to pause the event for this year and take stock.
ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION AND SALE 2024
The Charity organises and Art Exhibition and Sale in the autumn, with a display of art work in a wide range of media, by local artisits. For information about this event please contact ehartfair@gmail.com .
The 2023 event raised just over £2,500, which also contributed to the solar panel installation.
The proceeds from this year's events are going to help fund replacement equipment at the play area at Hanna's Field.
BOOK SALES & COFFEE MORNINGS
There is a stock of about 5,000 pre-loved books, dvds and cds. The sales take place at the Fete and Art Exhibition and on other Saturday mornings in between. The shelves are full at the moment, so new stock not needed at the moment.
