We’ll also give deliver a free event programme to each house as well as giving you the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets. Prizes this year include Rugby tickets, a case of wine, vouchers and many others.

Fete 2018 – 30th June

~ bavhadmin

Preparations for this year’s fete are speeding ahead and hopefully you are as excited about it as we are.  Don’t forget to put the date in your diary – Saturday 30th June!

We always need helpers on the day so please do let us know if you can help – on a stall, with car parking, the kiddies’ corner, baking cakes, pulling pints or flipping burgers.  There are many roles available and most of them are good fun, so don’t be shy.

If you would like to run your own stall, there is a small set fee for this and the contact for these stalls is Jules Eyles.  We welcome stalls selling things like homemade jams, cards, art… anything you feel you may be able to sell.

This event relies exclusively on volunteers and is a lovely community day out. Funds raised by the fete go towards the upkeep and maintenance of the hall and grounds – such as the recent kitchen and bar upgrade which hopefully you will get a chance to see.

Our partner charity is the wonderful Chilterns Dog Rescue Society.  There are a number of fun categories such as waggiest tail, Handsomest Dog… so start getting your pooch ready now. We are also looking for someone who may want to run the dog show next year and would be up for being trained up this year in advance…

Email us at fete@bellingdon.com if you’re able to help man a stall, help with set up or with pre-arrangements; or want to get involved in any way.  You are more than welcome!
