The Lemsford Fete - our Annual Fete

for 4 hours
St John's Church, Lemsford
Brocket Road Lemsford Welwyn Hatfield, AL8 7TT, United Kingdom

The Fete will take place in the school grounds and the church on Monday Bank Holiday - 1st May from noon.

We’re again hosting our classic coconut shy, archery and crockery smash stalls along with traditional maypole dancing and brass band. There will also be a chance to meet local members of the Herts Fire and Police Services, during the afternoon if you want to clamber over a fire engine or try on the kit, or maybe you’d like to admire a couple of classic Morgan
cars? For those of you with thrill seeking teddy bears please bring them along and give them a treat of a ride on our teddy bear zip wire from the church tower.

Our musical programme for the afternoon will have a very strong vocal feel with several choirs and solo signers/musicians including local girl Immi Davis, of BGT fame.

With the King’s coronation a week after the fete there will be a strong theme for this and we will be running a competition for you bring along or create your own crown and regalia and have your picture taken on our throne.
An afternoon out wouldn’t be complete without a little refreshment so try a Pimms or local real ale in our beer tent, maybe something non-alcoholic instead or a local gin. Having quenched your thirst how about something from our BBQ (meat or vegan), a cake or two or maybe just a simple ice cream.

Whilst you can bring your favourite teddy bear, please DON’T bring your dog along unless they are a registered guide or assistance dog. As we have a no dogs rule on the school grounds.

Start Time: Noon
Ends at: 4pm
Admissions Adults: £2.00 Senior Citizens: £1.00 Children under 16s: free Parking: free Only guide dogs and registered assistance dogs permitted on the site

Welcome to our Church.

We are situated in the village of Lemsford, which is situated between Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, adjacent to Brocket Hall. Our beautiful church has served the parish for over 150 years. We are a warm, welcoming and friendly church and seek to share the love of God in all that we do.

Whether you would like to join us for worship, or are thinking about having a special event here, such as a wedding or baptism, we would be delighted to see you at one of our services or social events for a chat. Otherwise please feel free to contact us by email.

The parish of Lemsford is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of St.Albans's safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
