A day at Old Buckenham village fete

Fundraising can be fun

The weather has been so predictable lately that you knew it would be a hot dry day. Stall holders were busy setting up during the morning, visitors started arriving after midday and continued over the next few hours. Games of chance were played, prizes were won, goods were bought, competitions were entered, tea was drunk, burgers, cakes and ice cream were eaten, children were entertained. 

Here is a photo diary of some of the activities.

You could buy an ice cream from this man


Phin and his family have fun


Stevie Spud advises on stilt walking


The rector updates his juggling skills


Lorries of all sizes have come along


Soon it's time to pack things away


Hopefully less things go home than were brought along earlier

All that's left soon after 4pm in front of the Village Hall
