The Fete centres around a tea tent, BBQ and bar serving Rebellion beer, with traditional games and competitions, such as welly wanging, coconut shy, the stocks and Bowl the Bacon and much more. We also invite local classic and elite cars and motorbikes to exhibit on the showground.
Stalls vary from year to year, but a visit has to be made to the produce stall, the bric a brac and the book stall which are permanent attractions.
Finally, there are several raffles and a Grand Draw which include a number of top prizes including local produce and meal vouchers.
