COME TO THE VILLAGE FETE!

On Sunday July 7th, from 12 to 6 pm, we will host the Village Fete at Swafield Hall (last years event attracted over 800 people and was arguably the best fete in North Norfolk!). Those who have been to previous events could tell you: it’s a really fabulous event, which combines the serene atmosphere of a beautiful garden, relaxing live music and renewed traditional village fete activities.
This year we’ll have a “Musicals extravaganza” theme with prizes for the best dance moves!

For centuries Swafield Hall traditionally hosted village fairs and other events on it’s grounds, on the Main Lawn. This tradition was revived in 2018, and since then, the Village Fete at Swafield Hall has gained the reputation as the must see event of the summer in North Norfolk.

Early 1950s pictures of Swafield Village fete held in the grounds of Swafield Hall (Main Lawn).
