Hundreds attend annual Watlington village fete

Hundreds turned out for a fun-filled day at the Watlington village fete last Saturday.

Visitors flocked to the village green to get involved in the annual festivities.

Community groups can apply for grants from the money the fete raised.

A range of stalls were on show, including crafts from nearby businesses and a classic Punch and Judy tent.

More than 50 vintage cars were also on display around Glebe Field, including a 1960s police car and a 1940s Wolseley 14/60.

Attendees were hoping for an RAF flypast with some Hawker Hurricane aircrafts and a Spitfire. Disappointingly for visitors, it had to be cancelled because of high crosswinds in the area.

The Watlington Players, the village’s amateur dramatics group, brought a troupe of singers along to the event - and the Young Players gave attendees a sneak peek at their upcoming show, The Little Mermaid.

Performers from the School of Dance also gave a dazzling performance.

The community donated more than 60 prizes as part of the grand draw which brought the day to a close.
