Great Wymondley Village Fete & Art Exhibition

Our annual Village Fete is being held on Church Green as usual, at 2pm until 6pm on Sunday 14th June 2009.

Bellringers will open the Fete at 2pm with welcoming peals from the tower of St. Mary's Church, and we hope everyone will take the opportunity to visit this very special old church, which has been extensively restored with funding from a major appeal last year. (The funding for this work was also bolstered by the contributions of many previous visitors to the Fete over recent years...).

The Great Wymondley Fete is a traditional, family-friendly occasion with something for everyone, from Splat the Rat and Maggot Racing, to guess the Name of the Doll and Tossing the Bale. Our teas, with home-made cakes and scones are legendary! - as are Cherry Carter's amazing fudge and elderflower cordial, and very special home-made jams.

New events this year - or back from the past - include Pony Rides and a Nature Trail and Quiz. Old favourites include a Bouncy Castle, Coconut Shy and Chocolate Fountain. There will also be a Fun Dog Show (does your dog have the waggiest tail?) and Clog Dancing.

Also for the first time this year in conjunction with the Fete we are holding an Art Exhibition in the Village Hall (almost opposite the Green) with a range of pictures and images available to see and buy. This will include a demonstration on using pastels, given by Beryl Perriman, who teaches pastel drawing at Tim's Art Supplies in Hitchin.

Car parking is conveniently provided in the centre of the village in the field next to Church Green.

Although we are a very small village, the Great Wymondley Fete has a long history of success, and is open to everyone who'd like to join in and enjoy with us.
