On the borders of Dorset and Wiltshire, just off the A303 near Wincanton, the villagers of Pen Selwood are preparing for their 66th traditional village fete on Saturday, August 14 from midday. And it is promised there will be something for everyone. Pen’s famous White Elephant Stalls are set to groan under the weight of a host of high quality donations, including glassware sets, vintage cheese dishes and a selection of wicker baskets and the pre-loved clothing stall will have rails of fashion. Parking is available on the adjacent field – perfect for stowing away those finds! A barbecue will be stoked for the event and a beer tent will be well stocked with Pimms, Prosecco, draught ales and lagers, cider and wine. Children can brush up on their circus skills or play traditional games and there will be a tombola and coconut shy. And of course, no fete is complete without a cake stall, teas and book and plants and produce stalls. Proceeds of the Fete will be divided between St Michael’s Church and the Pen Selwood Community Association.

SETTING OUT OUR STALL: Pen Selwood village fete promises something for everyone

n For more information go to penselwood.co.uk Young bookworms will be joined by giant millipedes, tree frogs, cockroaches and even snakes, as part of Dorset Libraries’ summer reading challenge. As part of their Wild World Heroes event, the libraries will be hosting animal encounter sessions. Children will get to see exotic animals up close, and the chance to learn about the creatures from the rangers at Zoolab. Numbers are strictly limited at the participating venues, which include Gillingham and Sherborne libraries.

Tea in the Garden

Gussage St Michael is holding a Teas in the Garden event to raise funds for its church roof from 2-5pm on Saturday, July 31. The event, at Linden Grove, by kind invitation of Vic and Helen Hatton, will offer plants, produce, and cakes for sale.
