The Bellingdon & Asheridge Village Fete is just weeks away now – please put Saturday 27th June, 12:30-4:30pm in your diaries now!
We’re aiming for it to be an even better day out for the whole family, with more traditional game stalls – including tombola, coconut shy, lucky dip, splat the rat and a range of new ones.
Plus we have our regular fun dog show and classic cars display. And, of course, a barbecue, bar, ice creams, teas and cakes and – new for this year – a popcorn stall!
Returning for the 2025 Bellingdon and Asheridge Village Fête, we’re running a silent auction where you can bid for some incredible items (via email to fetesilentauction@gmail.com or at the fête itself).
We’re lucky enough to have been given these amazing donations for you to bid on:
Two audience tickets to the recording of any episode of Taskmaster Series 21 in September 2025. Filming will take place at BBC Studio Works, Wood Lane, London W12, with recording days between Friday 12th and Thursday 18th September. Audience members must be 18 or over. Tickets courtesy of Avalon UK.
Personal biographer
Have you ever wanted to have your personal story, or that of a loved one, captured in a biography? Now you can! This is a truly unique opportunity to record forever whatever personal history you’d like. Through a series of informal conversations with a local writer, you’ll discuss the events you’d like to cover, before your biographer writes your own special story. Your story and timeline will be delivered to you in digital format. It’s then yours to enjoy, whether you’d like to share it, keep it as your own, or decide to have it printed up as a book!
A morning of trout fly fishing at the members-only Latimer Park Trout Lake with instruction. Tackle and picnic lunch included. Bids start at £50.
To see more of our brilliant silent auction items including a Dermalogica Facial Treatment, Angelic Reiki session and junior drum kit, visit our raffle and silent auction website here.
You can place your bids via email now: fetesilentauction@gmail.com or in person at the raffle stall at the fête on Saturday 28th June. When we close the bidding at 3.30pm on the day, the highest bid for each item wins!
There’s nothing to pay unless you win your item, so just let us know how much you would like to bid.
To find out more, or to place a bid, email fetesilentauction@gmail.com or come and see us at the fête. The lucky winners will be announced after the raffle has been drawn.
Our raffle has some brilliant prizes this year, ranging from a luxury food hamper and cases of wine to a family match ticket to a Chesham United match!

Of course, you’ll still be able to buy your tickets in the usual way at the fête itself, or during our village doorknock during the week beginning 16th June.
