Titchmarsh Fete                

    

Saturday 14th June 2008

 

 

The annual Church Fete is a longstanding event, which used to be held in the gardens of The Old Rectory and Titchmarsh House. However, these days the Fete is altogether a bigger village event, which is now held in the Church and School fields.

This popular event is well planned, is packed full of action and villagers are encouraged to participate. There are craft stalls, novelty stands, plants for sale and competitions to enter. There is a tombola, raffle, and a ‘guess the full bottle’ stall. Naturally there is a refreshment marquee, beer tent and hamburger/hot dog stall.

There are team events, and children are invited to enjoy a variety of organised events and games. Pets are catered for too, with competitions for the prettiest pet, and the one that looks most like its owner! The most unusual activity has to be the ‘Parachuting Teddies’ event, where competitors sew parachutes onto their prize teddy, which is then hurled off the Church spire – the one that stays in the air longest wins! It’s a fun day, enjoyed by all.
