Tarvin Village Summer Fete Gallery

Tarvin Village Summer Fete

Last Saturday's Tarvin Summer Fete provided a truly memorable day out on a day when the rain decided to stay away, the band played and the crowds enjoyed a multitude of attractions.

It started with the procession from outside St Andrews Church, led by the City of Chester Blue Coat Band, making its way up the High Street and down Hockenhull Lane towards the Community Centre and the King George's Playing Fields.

There was a wide range of attractions and activities including -

• Reenactments of Viking and Saxon hard fought close combat
• Morris Dancing Displays
• Dog show
• Wellie throwing competition
• Tug of war competition
• A replica of a Boy Scout Ambulance as used in the First World War
• Our local PCSO, James Hannath, representing Cheshire Police
• A funfair
• Stalls offering handcrafted gifts
• Displays of plants for sale by the Tarvin Community Woodland Trust
• A Burger stall and play area run by the Duddon St Peter's Primary School
• A Pancake stall run by the newly reformed Tarvin Christmas Market committee

As usual, the Tarvin Community Centre played a vital role at the Summer Fete. This time it ran a well-stocked bar as well as hosting music from the City of Chester Blue Coat band and running a Victoria Sandwich Cake Competition.

The centre also provided a venue for the Tarvin Methodist Church team to serve teas, coffees, cold drinks and a wonderful variety of cakes and refreshments.

Grateful thanks are due to the Fete committee for organising the event and to all who supported it.

To quote the Trustees from the Tarvin Community Woodland Trust -

"The Tarvin Summer Fete has long been one of the events that marks Tarvin out as a village with a vibrant community and so many of the village organisations are happy to be a part of the afternoon."
