We're Back. For Good.
After a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19, a new committee stepped up in 2025 to revive and carry the fete forward. Building on the strong foundations laid by past organisers, the new committee is committed to honouring the history of the Old Timers Fete while introducing fresh energy and ideas to ensure its continued success.
With the support of volunteers, local groups, and the wider community, the Old Timers Fete remains a celebration for all generations—focused on community spirit, nostalgia, and creating new memories together.
