Garden Fete in August

June 26, 2016 by Bethersden Parish Council

We are delighted that Tim Stubbs has invited us back to his lovely garden at Street Cottage Bethersden, for our annual fete on August Bank Holiday, Monday 28th 2017, 11.30 am to 4.00 pm.

Bethersden hosts one of the longest continually running garden fetes in the UK. The popular event attracts people from as far away as North Kent and Hastings and raises important reserves for the St Margaret’s church fabric fund.

Fun for all the Family

Featuring traditional stalls and games, from plants, cakes and book stands to the popular tombola, pub games and crockery smashing stall, the fete features an activity to please every member of the family.  Ploughman’s Lunch will be provided, as will afternoon tea.  Or you may prefer to sample the delicious barbecue instead.

Bethersden Bake-Off Competition

New for 2017 is the Bethersden Bake-Off competition with three categories to choose from:

  • Best decorated cupcake (under 12)
  • Best Victoria sponge
  • Best garden inspired cake

Entry is free, and should be submitted at the tea-tent by 12 Noon.  After judging all cakes will be sold during the fete for charity.

Request for Help

Please could you help to swell the funds by providing things for sale on the stalls, which will include Plants, Fruit, Veg. and Preserves, Cakes, Tombola Prizes, Books, Toiletries as well as Costume Jewellery, and Bric a Brac.  Hardware can be left at the back of the church by special arrangement, while food and any valuables should be brought to the garden early on the morning of the Fete.

We shall be particularly grateful for any ideas for new games, or offers of assistance to man a stall, or help with marquee erection and take down.
