Tintern Fete
As always, it will be free and open to all residents and visitors.
Now a fixture in the Wye Valley summer calendar, the Tintern Fete offers a magical mixture of children's attractions, day-long live music and singing, hot food, a bar, and a host of interesting stalls.
Fete 2018 news updates
Music programme published
One of the lynchpins of the Tintern Fete has always been its fantastic live music programme and this year is no exception. Totally free, the day starts with an energy kick from Bristol Choir Brigade and carries on through deep into the evening with Brimstone, The Rob Connerly Band, Lee McCrory and Creatures of Habit. There's even a disco interlude for kids and, to finish up, some serious adult disco with Paul Scheeres.
And alongside the music, there'll be a variety of very tasty hot food on sale.
Make your plans to be there!

Just confirmed, the amazing Bristol Choir Brigade will be opening the Fete with its great brand of high-energy vocals encompassing favourites from the 60s to the present day. They'll be kicking off at 12.00pm and performing a second set at 2.30pm.

2017 Fete Report
The Tintern Festivals Association prepared a report on the 2017 Fete which can be viewed below. Its main aim is to provide evidence of the use of funds to grant-makers who kindly supported the event but it also gives an insight into how much organisation is required to put on a successful fete each year.
