Hartest Fete, Bury St Edmunds

Monday 25 August 2025
Location : Hartest Green: Hartest, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP9 4DH, United Kingdom
Every year, for over 50years, Hartest (Suffolk) have held a fete on August Bank Holiday Monday. This is run with all profits going to the local Primary School and Church.
They have now grown so that the last few years have had over 400 people attending and have raised ??8000 - ??9000 for the charities each year.
They run a traditional fete but have added music and drink to make it more attractive for people to stay longer. This format has been very successful.
They also look to add something different each year so that the fete is memorable and people will keep returning. There will be:

TRADITIONAL GAMES & STALLS
BEER AND CIDER TENT / PIMMS

TOMBOLAS
CHILDREN'S RACES
ICE CREAMS
TEAS & CAKES

Events disclaimer

Event times

The times given are the times we will be on site at the event but unfortunately this doesn't necessarily mean we will be available to meet you throughout the whole of this period. Our plan for the day is usually confirmed with the event organisers closer to the event or even on the day. We will also require refreshment breaks. You may be able to get more specific details from the event organisers themselves if you contact them for when we are scheduled to meet with the public.

Star Wars & Reel Icons costumers

This has been added to the event details to let you know what kind of costumers this event has requested i.e. Star Wars only, Reel Icons only or a mixture of costumers. With all our events, we cannot guarantee what costumers will be available to attend as we are all volunteers who do this in our spare time so it is always on a 'best endeavours' basis.

Cancellations

Unfortunately, sometimes our attendance at an event is cancelled. This is infrequent but can happen for a variety of reasons including the event itself being cancelled or rescheduled by the organiser, inclement weather, costumers that are within the locale of that event being unavailable or ill. We recommend that you check back regularly with this calendar to ensure our attendance at a particular event is still scheduled.
