Great Ayton Village Fete 2010

GREAT AYTON VILLAGE FETE 2010

A Fete is held in Great Ayton once every two years on the 2nd Saturday in June.  

The Fete for 2010 didn’t disappoint, the crowds turned out in their hundreds to take part and enjoy the fun, even the sun was out in full force!   A bright and colouful parade of floats, fancy dress entrants, dancers, guides, scouts, flag bearers and the general public were escorted from the Low Green to the High Green by a Brass Band.   

 The Rt. Hon. William Hague M.P. opened the Fete at the arrival of the Parade at the High Green.   The High Green was full to capacity with a large variety of stalls, most of which were funding raising for local organizations or charities; fun fair rides close by kept children busy.  The Brass Band continued to entertain throughout the afternoon.

The Parish Council would like to thank everyone for taking part and helping to make the afternoon a huge success.
