Dunchurch Village Fête

A day of community, entertainment and celebration.

Supporting Our Local Community

The Dunchurch Village Fête has been at the heart of our community for over 50 years, bringing together residents, local organisations, businesses and visitors for one of the village’s biggest annual events. Every year, the fête continues to grow, offering a fantastic day of live entertainment, family activities, delicious food, local stalls and fundraising for worthwhile causes.

Over the past 12 years alone, the Dunchurch Festival Group has donated more than £90,000 to local charities, organisations and community projects, with every surplus helping to make a positive difference within our village.
