The Rushden Fete on Saturday 26 June proved very successful with crowds of visitors who turned out in the incredible weather and an amazing £4,500 was raised, an all time record. The Village Hall Committee were absolutely thrilled how well the fete went. It was a fantastic team effort and it all ran smoothly. This is of course because of the fabulous organisation by Ellen who worked tirelessly to make sure that everything went to plan.

The fete sub committee of Mary Ann, Debs Collis & Carole Littlechild
