Chiddingly has enjoyed its Church Fete for some years now, and it's an
excellent example of a rural Parish Church fete held in the Sussex
countryside. Come and see for yourself - and enjoy!
The proceeds of the fete help support the Chiddingly
Church General Fund.
We look forward again to welcoming everyone to the Church Fete, this year to
be held on the sunny Saturday May 17th., around the Church, in The
Old Vicarage garden and in the Village Hall.
The Fete will open at 1.30pm, and it will continue until 4.30pm, so it can the better
incorporate lunch and tea as well as the usual fun and frolics.
