The village fête began as there was a need to fix our church roof, this became a festival of country life for over 50 years.
Worstead weaving its magic as ever!
The church is still filled by weavers, music, flowers and much, much, more. The fields are thriving with laughter and life. From creative crafts to masses of bouncy castles - music, comedy, chefs, display ring of animals and stunts (sometimes both) the hall is loaded with LEGO® and an art exhibition - it is a weekend of wonder.

It all began with an idea to fix a church roof.
The festival was founded in 1965 (with the first festival taking place in July1966) to raise money to save the extraordinary village church, which was falling into disrepair. Prior to the festival idea - the parishioners had all been given a charity money box to raise funds for the church restoration - it quickly and affectionately became known as the ‘swear box’.
