Sherfield Fête will take place on Saturday 14th June, from 12:00 to 17:00 on the village green.
Our theme for this year’s fête is the English Civil War. Around 50 re-enactors from the Sealed Knot Society (led by Prince Rupert’s Bluecoats, a 17th century Royalist regiment during the Civil War) will perform re-enactments of drill and skirmish with pike and musket in our large arena. Also on site from Friday to Sunday will be the soldiers’ camp, complete with wives, children, traders, and less savoury elements!
The re-enactors’ performances will involve the discharge of muskets and brandishing of pikestaffs, which could be alarming for some visitors.
The fête will also feature many more displays, a range of activities to join in with, dozens of stalls to browse and buy from, and a wide range of food and drink options, and promises a full afternoon of fun for all ages. Full details are in the programme: download a copy here.
You’ll find a schematic plan of the site here, and an approximate order of events here.
There is still time to donate good quality items for sale on our village stalls – as well as our usual collection around the village, you can now complete a donation form online.
