Motcombe Village Fete & Scarecrow Festival

Come to our village fete where we will have 2 arenas and loads of fun events, stalls and displays including pig racing, hawk flying, a dog show, welly wanging, snail racing, a very generous raffle, coconut shy, crockery smash, circus skills, beat the goalie, tin can alley and the infamous tug of war!

Our magnificent hexagonal music tent the HEX (provided by Q&R events) will rival Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage (sort of), with the Mangled Wurzles headlining and an Open Mic for the brave during the afternoon. The Shaftesbury Choir and Loose Connections also playing crucial supporting roles.
