| ABOUT THE FETE AND ASSOCIATED EVENTS
|
Each year, many individuals and organisations in Whiteparish work together to stage the annual Village Fete and several other associated events. Profits go to benefit All Saints' Church and All Saints' Primary School.
(Please note: This page is still being developed while arrangements for the fete and other events are finalised, and contents may be subject to change.)
For 2016, and bearing in mind that this year brings the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations, the Fete Theme is: Kings and Queens/Royal Dynasties, which explains the categories for the Children's Competition (see below).
|
