Come and join the fun at the Crich Village Fête!
Saturday 19th July 1pm – 5pm
This years Crich Fete promises to be an aerial spectacular.
Swooping in from Ashover is James MacKay and his Falconry Display. James has notably supplied, amongst other events, his trained owls for the Harry Potter films. A static display of some of his birds will also be on show.
Flinging themselves into action will be the Amber Valley Gymnastics Club providing a display of human agility.
Joining us for the first time Fallen Angels will be winging onto the stage for your musical entertainment.
Taking to the skies in a different way will be the RAF Memorial Flight as the legendary fighter plane, the Spitfire, and the bomber the Dakota give the Fete what promises to be a spectacular fly past. If you saw the Lancaster Bomber last year you’ll know this is one not to be missed.
We will also be entertained by the local schools that will be providing maypole dancing and some fun races during the afternoon.
For the young at heart, or just the young, there will be lots of entertainment from face painting and balloon demonstrations, a Bouncy Castle and Inflatable Slide to paintball shooting and a coconut shy. Or have a go at battling your friends in Gladiators style with pugil sticks (you know you want to!).
There will be lots of stalls and displays to wander round from Well Dressing techniques to a Farrier demonstration.
The usual favourites will be there including Crich Brass, along with several food stalls and a bar.
The fun starts at 1pm; come along and have a great afternoon out. We’ll see you there!
