BBC Radio Hereford and Worcester presenter Nina Das Gupta will be
performing the opening ceremony at Salwarpe Fete this year, as it
celebrates 25 years of successful fundraising.
Listeners attending the fete will be able to put a face to the name of the
popular early morning show host, as she begins the party-themed proceedings
at 2pm on Saturday, August 19.
The 3 hour fete is again being held by kind permission of Mr and Mrs
Michael Davies at Churchfields Farm, Copcut Lane (home of the luxury
Churchfields ice-cream). With a vast amount to see and do for the whole
family, the event is suitable for all ages.
The silver anniversary cake will be awarded to whoever correctly guesses
the weight of it, and the bucking bronco is back for a second year by
popular demand. Home made tea from the Salwarpe WI will be available for
sampling in the village hall, with a barbecue, a cider tent and ice-cream
also on offer.
There will be a children’s dancing and gymnastics demonstration, with
children in the audience invited to join in after the display, a dog show
with six classes leading to best in show, pony rides, a coconut shy, and
several other sideshows. Classic cars will again be on display and there
will be delightful music for visitors to enjoy, courtesy of Worcester
Ukelele Band.
Expected to be as busy as usual, the highly anticipated bric-a-brac marquee
will display an assortment of everything from DVDs to crockery and curtains
to toys for bargain hunters to sift through.
Parking for the fete is free, and entry is £2 for adults. Children under 16
years of age are entitled to free access, and all proceeds go to help
maintain the historic churches at Salwarpe and Martin Hussingtree.
