We are busy, busy, busy at the moment! We have so much planned to make the day great. Burnham Village Fete is on 11 July in Burnham Park. Free parking and free entry.

We have our fantastic fun dog show, sponsored by Claire's Comfy Canines Ltd, a superb bar to keep you cool hydrated, run by Burnham Park Hall, delicious food from Woodstocks Coffee and Tea House and much, much more!

Tickets will be on sale soon for our Grand Prize Draw and we can't wait to tell you about the amazing prizes we have for that, many of them donated by local businesses.

We are just putting the finishing touches to our poetry competition and diamond hunt, to celebrate 60 years of Burnham BCA Burnham Community Association. Follow this page for more details.

We still have some non-catering stalls left. Please fill out the form in the link below if you would like to enquire about having a stall at the fete. Please remember that this is the only way you can book a stall with us.

Not long to go, we can't wait to see you all soon.
