Britain's What's On Event Guide
Pen Selwood's 68th Traditional Fete & Show - Fete opens at 12 noon
Tucked away on the borders of Somerset, Dorset & Wiltshire, just off the A303, Pen Selwood celebrates 68 years of our traditional Village Fete with treats for all. The Fete opens at 12 noon and is run by an enthusiastic team of villagers enabling us to offer tremendous value! The queues typically head first for Pen Selwood's famous White Elephant with donations sorted into specialist ‘shops’. Please note this is a cash event. A special treat this year - entertainment by members of Gillingham's Silver Band, at times to be announced.
As always, youngsters are well catered for. They can enjoy themselves for FREE all afternoon testing their Circus Skills on a wide range of equipment while their parents have chance to browse the many stalls or enjoy the refreshments on offer. They can also try their luck on their very own Children's Tombola and browse the Toy Stall. Face painting is new for 2023.
Pen Selwood's Flower, Craft & Produce Show will once again fill St Michael's Church [opposite the Fete Field] - always popular with Fete visitors, you will find plenty to enjoy and inspire.
Come hungry! The Barbecue fires up for midday. Wash lunch down with a choice of local ales, ciders, Pimms, wines and soft drinks from the Pen Pub tent. All your favourites will be there including Books, Bottle Tombola, Cakes, Grand Draw, Plants & Produce and of course, the delicious Pen Teas from 12.30pm. Be sure to browse the popular Pre-loved Clothing & Accessories for both men and women. Come early to grab the best bargains!
