A traditional Summer Fayre is set to bring the community spirit back to St Peter’s Church in Fugglestone, on the outskirts of Wilton

Step back in time into a celebration of community, tradition, and summer charm. Play traditional games like Cornhole, Ring Toss and “Walk the trail”.

A programme of lively entertainment will enhance a festive atmosphere, featuring traditional Morris dancing alongside performances by local musicians. Visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy recitals on a hand-pumped pipe organ, a rare and historic musical treasure in the cool inside of the little church. To complete the experience, a selection of cream teas and other refreshments will be available throughout the event.

The event is organised by the Fugglestone St Peter Trust, a community-led initiative working to secure lottery funding for the restoration and revitalisation of the church building. The Trust aims to preserve the church’s heritage and create a welcoming venue for events, celebrations
and gatherings.Trustees will be on hand throughout the afternoon to discuss plans for expanding the church’s role as a community space — and visitors can even take aim at them with wet sponges in a traditional pillory.

Whether you come with family, friends, or simply a curiosity for local heritage, there will be something to please everyone. Keep an eye out for more details as the day approaches—this is a summer event you won’t want to miss.
