Local community events: Church Knowle Fete
Step back in time and enjoy a wonderful afternoon at the Church Knowle Fete, a truly traditional summer village fete set in the beautiful grounds of The Old Rectory near Corfe Castle.
Taking place on Saturday 1st August, from 2pm to 5pm, this much-loved community event offers fun for all ages. Families can enjoy a fantastic selection of children’s games and activities, alongside traditional favourites including skittles, coconut shy, and the ever-popular tug of war.
Browse a variety of stalls selling everything from home-made cakes and fresh produce to books, plants, and bric-a-brac, then relax with a refreshing drink in the Pimm’s tent, indulge in a delicious cream tea, or enjoy something from the BBQ while listening to the sounds of a live brass band.
Don’t miss the Grand Draw, with a chance to win some fantastic prizes.
Admission: Adults £3 | Children £1
Location: The Old Rectory, Church Knowle, BH20 5NG
