A VILLAGE fete near Rugby will be going wild this weekend to celebrate two special anniversaries.
Thurlaston Fete will adopt a theme of ‘Wildlife Wonders’ to mark 200 years of London Zoo and the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough.
Scarecrows and fancy dress will take on the wildlife theme, alongside the usual festivities such as children’s games, gifts and garden plants, honey and bees, bric-a-brac, books, bottles and craft stalls.
The fete will also welcome the Toft Alpacas, and live music will include ukelele group Rugbylele.
Refreshments will range from hot dogs and ice cream to teas and homemade cakes in the Village Hall.
Coordinator Sylvia Jacques said: “We hope our theme will inspire plenty of creativity, and help to make this year’s fete a colourful celebration of the natural world.
“As ever, we’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors for what will be a lovely afternoon out at our traditional village fete.”
The fete will raise funds for Thurlaston Village Hall and St Edmund’s Church.
It takes place on Saturday (July 4) along Main Street and Church Lane from 2pm to 4pm. Entry is free.
Anyone interested in having a stall – in return for a £10 contribution and a donation to the prize draw – is invited to get in touch by emailing [email protected] for details.
