Its 6 weeks to go and time to start planning your day. Are you going to start by dashing to the Homemade Cake Stall before they sell out or rush to the White Elephant Stall to pick up a bargain before the Local Antique dealers scoop them up? Will you find a rare old book on the second-hand book stall? There is plenty to occupy the family for the whole afternoon. You can just sit and relax on the Village Green listening to the Daventry Brass Band and watching the Brackley Morris Men or try your hand on the Coconut Shy , Skittles and other Activities on and around The Green .Children can enjoy the Punch and Judy Show, have their faces painted and enjoyed old fashioned games like Splat the Rat and Jambolas. Bring your four legged friends and enter them in the Fun Dog Show but don’t leave without heading to the Village Hall next to the Church for a Famous Everdon Tea. Delicious Homemade Cakes and a thirst quenching Cup of Tea , Coffee or Soft drink. Everdon Village welcomes you all.

Nestled amidst the picturesque countryside, Everdon Village has been a hub of warmth, camaraderie, and tradition for half a century, thanks to its beloved institution – the Everdon Village Fete. As we celebrate its golden jubilee, we reflect on the countless memories and cherished moments that have made this event a cornerstone of our community.

For five decades, the Everdon Village Fete has been a celebration of unity, bringing together residents and visitors alike in a vibrant tapestry of stalls, games, and performances. From the laughter of children partaking in sack races to the melodies of local musicians filling the air, each year has woven new threads into the rich fabric of our shared history.

Beyond its festive charm, the fete serves as a testament to the enduring strength of community spirit. We could not have done it without our wonderful volunteers. So, as we raise a toast to the next fifty years, let us cherish the Everdon Village Fete as more than just an event but as a symbol of the bonds that unite us, generation after generation.
