Ash Village Fete 2026 – A Wonderful Day to Remember

Ash Village Fete 2026 – A Wonderful Day to Remember

Our Village Fete, held on Saturday 20th June, was a tremendous success, and we are delighted to share that it was an excellent event from start to finish.

We were thrilled to see such a fantastic turnout throughout the day, with visitors arriving steadily and helping to create a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The weather was kind to us too – staying pleasantly dry with comfortable temperatures, making it just ideal for enjoying all the activities on offer.

Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous partners and dedicated volunteers, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to those who helped make the day special:

  • A big thank you to Oasis Electrical for their hard work in hanging bunting around the car park, which added a colourful and welcoming touch to the venue.
  • A huge thank you to Frederick R Miller for supplying a 12-tonne curtain-sided lorry, which proved to be the perfect solution for a stage, giving our entertainers a fantastic platform to perform from throughout the day.
  • Our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful volunteers: Sue Randall & Maurice Randall, Peter Kimber, Paula Hunt, and David Shaw and his lovely wife, whose time and effort were invaluable.
  • We would also like to thank the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK collectively for their support and contribution to the day.

Entertainment was provided by:

Surrey Dance Works
Ash Manor School
Mackenzie Mayne (Fun Rides & Inflatables)
Haaris Sings

Village Fete Thank You Message (Events Chair – Cllr John Tonks)

“Now that the Village Fete has taken place, I wanted to take a moment to say a sincere thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success.

Events like this do not happen by accident. They are the result of a huge amount of effort, planning and goodwill from so many people across our community. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our staff, volunteers and organisers who worked so hard behind the scenes and on the day itself. Your dedication, energy and enthusiasm were clear to see, and it is very much appreciated.

A special thank you also goes to our stallholders, performers and exhibitors who brought such variety and interest to the fete, and to everyone who attended and supported the event. It was wonderful to see so many residents, families and friends coming together and enjoying the day.

We are also very grateful for the continued support of our local charities. This year we were proud to support the Ashes Good Neighbour Scheme. The work they carry out across Ash Parish is truly invaluable, helping elderly and vulnerable residents with transport, companionship and support to reduce isolation. Your generosity will make a real difference to their ongoing work in the community.

The Village Fete once again showed what makes Ash Parish such a strong and welcoming place. It is this shared community spirit that ensures events like these continue to thrive year after year.

Thank you all once again for playing your part. We look forward to seeing you again at future events.”

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to making the Ash Village Fete such a memorable occasion. We look forward to welcoming you all again next year!
