Britain's What's On Event Guide
Feckenham Wake
In the year 1223 King Henry III issued a charter giving the people of Feckenham the right Royal right to hold an enormous fair every year. As loyal subjects the people felt duty bound to comply – and, with occasional lapses to accommodate wars and plagues, they’ve been organising a ginormous celebration ever since.
This year’s event (on 21st June) promises a full-on festival of fun with something for absolutely everyone. Got little ones They’ll be climbing, bouncing, and giggling their way through games and adventures. Got competitive parents Step right up for the Trial of Strength – or perhaps the life-size table football will catch your eye! And let’s not forget Fido – the Fun Dog Show is back and barking with excitement.
Car lovers, feast your eyes: over 100 gleaming classic motors will be lined up for your viewing pleasure in a Classic Car Show. Also featuring will be Professor Chandler’s Punch and Judy Show, The Arrow Valley Brass Band, All Round Voices Choir, Massed Morris Dancers and a stupendous Fairground Organ. Circus performer Thomas Trilby will again prove that it is possible to juggle on stilts whilst riding a unicycle.
There’ll be lots to see and plenty to eat and drink – a real ale bar, a prosecco bar, cream teas, a pig roast, pizzas, home-made samosas, ices and candy floss… and rumour has it that a small flock of giant seagulls is likely to descend – mind they don’t nick your chips!
It all starts at 12.30 pm on The Square at Feckenham. Entrance is free – though there is a small charge for parking. Feckenham is just south of Redditch on the B4090.
