Bredon School’s ever-popular Bank Holiday May Fete & Country Fair offers fun and a relaxing day out for all the family.

Dozens of attractions to suit all tastes are offered at the event on Monday 5 May at the independent school close to Bushley, near Tewkesbury.

 

Organiser Doug Sharp said: “The Fete is open to all and has attracted many hundreds of local people in recent years.

 

"There really is something for everyone. Those who want a quiet day might enjoy browsing the plant stall, watching the Weston Cider horse and dray plod by and taking afternoon tea, while youngsters who like life in the fast lane can race on junior quad bikes, do battle in our Gladiator Challenge or run the family pet round our dog agility course!” added Mr Sharp, the School’s Admissions & Development Manager.

 

Activities on Monday 5 May start with the clay shoot held as part of the Country Fair, which runs from 10am to 4pm. The ‘High Gun’ prize is a Webley shot gun and there are many other prizes, including some for juniors, ladies and veterans.

 

Bank Holiday Monday visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the extensive grounds of the School’s Pull Court mansion from 11.30am. The Fete itself takes place from noon until 4pm, with entry costing £2 per car. There is ample parking.

Well over 30 stalls and attractions are expected to be at the Fete & Country Fair, including:

o Archery
o Face-painting
o Bouncy castle
o Children’s fairground rides
o Clay shooting for all, including beginners
o Country clothing stalls
o Food including a pig roast, hamburgers, candy floss and cake stalls
o Pimm’s tent
o Coconut shy
o Vintage tractors
o Pony rides
o Air cannon shoot
o 4x4 off-road driving

Dozens of volunteers from the School, its Parents’ Association and the Old Bredonians’ Association will be on hand to help out. Any Fete visitors interested in their child attending the day and boarding school will be invited to return to Bredon School’s Summer Term Open Morning on Saturday 17 May, from 10am-noon.
 

o The Bank Holiday weekend’s activities at Bredon School begin on Sunday 4 May, when schools from around the country will take part in The Schools Challenge – a clay shooting event organised by former Bredon School pupil David Florent, of The Oxford Gun Company.
