The 2026 fete was held on Saturday 4th July
The estimated net proceeds of the fete are £6,132. A full breakdown is below.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this brilliant event on Saturday. Weather ideal (dry and pre heat wave) and the music from the Staffordshire Band and dancing exhibition gave the feeling of traditional village fete. As you will see, once again, over £6,000 was raised; in addition, we have purchased twenty new tables thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. In addition, we now have three marquees, all for use at future PCC events.
We are grateful to Alix and Keith, sponsors and all helpers and volunteers who supported us on the day, in particular, as ever, the Air Cadets. From starting the marquees at 6.30 am to falling into the Crown at 7pm it was a long day, but well worth it. Looking forward to 3 July 2027!
