OUR traditional village fete and family dog show is being held on Saturday July 9, from 2pm, at Ebrington Cricket Ground on the outskirts of the village. Free parking opposite the cricket ground. Entrance is £1 for adults and children over 12. Money raised goes to the church and the village organisations.

Chipping Campden Swing Band will accompany the fete. Campden Academy of Dance will perform dance routines. There will also be a display of classic and vintage cars, motor cycles and tractors.

The stalls include cakes, jams and preserves, produce, books, plants and garden bric-a-brac as well as gift stalls and treasures from the attic (‘White Elephant’ items). Also a grand raffle, bottle stall, traditional Wheel of Fortune, crown darts, and skittles.

Plenty for the children including a bouncy castle, children’s magic show, traditional Punch and Judy Show, storytelling, and jam jar tombola. There will also be a fascinating display of live insects and creatures entitled Life in the Rainforest.

Families can enter their dogs in the Family Dog Show - entertaining to enter and fun to watch. Bring along your dog for this event. Class entries from 2pm on the day.

Delicious teas, BBQ, ice cream, soft drinks, beer and cider.
