2025 FETE PROGRAMME
This year we have decided not to print paper copies of the fete programme. Instead, you’ll be able to use your phone to scan a QR code which will direct you to the website where you’ll be able to find everything you need to know about what’s happening on the day. You’ll find the QR codes on posters which will be located around the Recreation Ground and the Village.
