Did you go to Old Buckenham fete?

 All go at Chapel Green School

It was very busy at the Chapel Green School fete on Saturday. The weather was ideal, loads of people came and they all seemed keen to spend their money. First indications are that it raised at least twice as much as the previous fete.

Enjoying the sunshine...

...while eating hot dogs and burgers

The police and fire brigade came along as well

Drawing the prizes for the raffle took over half an hour

Go exploring

Fete in 2019, now back again

Have you ever felt reluctant to go down the entrance road to Chapel Green School and past those barriers? Tomorrow, Saturday 25 June, they are holding their fete and would love you to visit them between noon and 3pm. See the buildings and grounds, meet some of the staff, pupils and members of the Friends of Chapel Green School. Try out some of the many stalls and just have a good time.

You can enjoy yourselves while making some money to support the school get those little extras that will make life even better for the pupils. See you there.

History of Old Buckenham

 Jubilee exhibition

Try to get to the Village Hall during Friday 3 or Saturday 4 June to see various displays relating to activities in the village during the Queen's reign. Information about All Saints Church, the Women's Institute, commemorative postage stamps, memorabilia collected by Roger Wilson and the recent work on Ottomer Pond. 

If you go on Friday's Village Walk you will end up at the Village Hall so you can look around then. Also your opportunity to pick up your Jubilee mugs.





Old Buckenham's Street Party

 Take part at another time

The weather is now forecast to be heavy rain so the organisers have decided to cancel this event. Please let others know. Thanks.

The weather is looking promising for Sunday 5 June so get organised to come along and enjoy a traditional British Street Party in honour of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

Party scene from 2012






















Grab some food and drink and come along for a celebratory afternoon as a village. There should be tables and chairs for approximately 200 people. If you have your own tables/chairs/picnic blanket then it would be great if you could bring them along too. The more the merrier!
Bring your own food and drink (and maybe some extra to share) and games for the kids. We look forward to seeing lots of villagers there.
