Avon Dassett Fete 
Bigger, Bolder, Better: Avon Dassett’s 2010 Fete Flies You Further!
After last year’s rain failed to dampen spirits, the summer sunshine has truly arrived in good time for this year’s Avon Dassett Village Fete, and it promises to be the most exciting yet!
The annual event, one of Warwickshire’s biggest fetes, has been attracting the crowds and raising many thousands of pounds for local and national charities for over 20 years.
This year’s fete kicks off at 2pm on Saturday 7th August 2010 and will feature a host of traditional country pursuits, from ferret racing to fly-fishing, gundog and show-jumping displays, to a chance to ride the famous Dassett Mare, our wooden jousting horse.
This year brings a modern twist, with street dance and ballet demonstrations to light up the main ring, together with the return of the dog show.
There will be a multitude of craft and gift stalls pitching their wares, a classic car display, and children will be thrilled by face painting, the Great Baloni’s magical extravaganza and, for the 6 & unders, their very own Tea Party from 5.45pm to 7pm.
This year’s charity Raffle is the cherry on the icing on the (locally produced) cake; there are prizes galore but the Star Prize is something extra special:
TWO Virgin Airlines Return Flights to……ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!!
To keep everyone going, there’s a fully licensed late bar, a tea & cake tent and local culinary delicacies sizzling away throughout the day.
From 8.30pm, the main stage welcomes local band The Duckworths and a DJ to dance the night away into the early hours. Tickets for the evening are £6 at the door.
Fete Chairman, Steve Sartori, said: “We've been delighted by the way the event has developed from a small beginning. What's great about the fete is that it is both a family friendly village occasion that brings our community together, as well as one of the county’s biggest fundraisers for local charities.”
The Avon Dassett Fete starts at 2pm Saturday 7th August 2010. The village is easily found just off the B4100 between Gaydon and Banbury.
Day Entrance and Car Parking is FREE. Evening tickets are £6.
Proceeds from the fete will go to Myton Hospice, Friends of the Dassett School, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and village projects.
