Fete and Fair Amusements

Welcome to our new series of information pages - with lots of ideas for amusements you might put on at your fete or fair.

Not only ideas for summer fetes or fairs - also amusements for fairs you might hold (probably indoors) in spring or autumn, or at Christmas.

And apart from fetes and fairs, many of these amusements make a good accompaniment to all sorts of fundraising events: the summer barbecue, or the duck race, or alongside a refreshments break at a bingo evening or beetle drive.

Many of the amusements we've included can be improvised - and at very little cost. Some need - or are easier with - products which you can buy from us.
