The Annual Middridge Village Fête will be held on the Village Green on Saturday, 2nd July, starting at 1.30pm, by kind permission of Middridge Parish Council. The Fête is organised by the Middridge Village Association, a registered Charity, which maintains and operates the Middridge Village Hall as a Community Centre for use by Middridge Residents, and Organisations from the surrounding area, as well as being available for hire for Private Parties; all Fête proceeds go to the Middridge Village Association.
The Fête will be opened by Joan Grey, one of our Ward Durham County Councillors. The Raffle First Prize is £75 worth of Shopping Vouchers donated by the Middridge Village Association, and there is also £40 worth of Shopping Vouchers donated by Middridge Parish Council, as well as a host of other Prizes. The Fête has also been supported by a Donation from County Councillors, Joan Grey, Mike Dixon & John Clare.
There will be the usual wide range of Stalls (Tombola, Cakes, Bric-a-brac, Toys, Books & DVDs, Bottles, and Plants etc.), a Children’s Bouncy Slide, and the regular Dog Show. Any Items for the Fête should be delivered to Mrs Lourine Beadle at 8, North Side. Music will be provided by the Aycliffe & Brancepeth Brass Band.
