Micheldever Village Fete 2026
2026-06-20 13:00 - 16:00 | Half Moon & Spread Eagle Pub, Winchester Road, Micheldever, Hants, SO21 3DQ, United Kingdom
When is a fete not a fete?
Not a trick question, merely an alert. The plans for this year’s fete have been pushed along by a very (very!) small team of volunteers. All the expectations of the day are in place, and the stalls are in place, led by our band of stalwarts for the day. However, a set of circumstances came together over the past couple of weeks that proved too burdensome for that small team pulling it all together.
An alternative plan had to be found to save the day. And our very own village pub stepped up to the mark. The fete, as planned, will now take place in and around the pub site and, yes, there will still be a dog show. In essence, nothing has changed other than the location. So on Saturday 20 June, at 1pm, rather than making your way to the playing field, wend your way to the pub – where there will be no entry fee.
Every penny that is raised on the stalls will go directly to the church funds or PTA, and the pub will make a donation as well.
So the answer to the question “when is a fete not a fete” is when the essence of the fete is a festival of fun at our pub.
Come and enjoy the fun on Saturday 20 June between 1- 4pm, at the Half Moon and Spread Eagle.
