On the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, just off the A303 near Wincanton, the villagers of Pen Selwood are preparing for their 66th traditional village fete on Saturday, August 14 from midday.

And it is promised there will be something for everyone. Pen’s famous White Elephant Stalls are set to groan under the weight of a host of high quality donations, including glassware sets, vintage cheese dishes and a selection of wicker baskets and the pre-loved clothing stall will have rails of fashion. Parking is available on the adjacent field – perfect for stowing away those finds!

A barbecue will be stoked for the event and a beer tent will be well stocked with Pimms, Prosecco, draught ales and lagers, cider and wine. Children can brush up on their circus skills or play traditional games and there will be a tombola and coconut shy. And of course, no fete is complete without a cake stall, teas and book and plants and produce stalls.

Proceeds of the Fete will be divided between St Michael’s Church and the Pen Selwood Community Association.
