There’s no shortage of fun at the annual Cowley Village Fete, taking place on Saturday 10 May 2025.
Taking over the glorious grounds of Cowley Manor hotel — which reopened in June 2023, revealing an extensive renovation carried out by new owners, Experimental Group — the festivities kick off at 2pm with The Pop Tarts ukulele duo, keeping the atmosphere lively until 5pm.
There's a 'top of the pups' contest and dog show, giving furry friends a chance to put their best paw forward to win a rosette.
Visitors can enjoy a summer drink at a pop-up licensed bar and look forward to plenty of food, with cream teas, a flaming hot barbecue and a cake stall serving up tasty treats.
Kids won't want to miss the alpaca corner, while there's a whole host of children’s games, inflatables and a tombola, too.
And of course, no fete would be complete without some stalls, where you can browse everything from books, toys and games to local produce and plants — as well as the annual raffle with some fabulous prizes up for grabs.
If that wasn't enough, each entrance ticket includes entry into a prize draw for a night for two people at the luxurious Cowley Manor.
