Following this summers glorious Glastonbury festival, we thought a festival theme would be just the ticket to brighten up our September street party. Decorate your front door, garden wall, your table and chairs and even yourselves in the festival spirit - get those dancing shoes on and get ready to party!
If you are able to help string bunting, set up tables and gazebos, build the stage and help with the next day clean up, please contact Chris at 23 Fairfield Road (T: 869212)
Bring out any simple beach or out-door games you are willing to share.
This is a community event, so please do your own thing. If it rains, feel free to set up your own gazebos or shelters! And please introduce yourself to new people.
You’re welcome to join in any of the activities but there’s a small charge per head to cover costs. Neighbours aged 70+ can drop in free of charge any time. Friends who want to drop by but not stay the whole day are asked to put a donation in the Honesty Box in the porch of Clare & Andre’s house, 31 Fairfield Road.
Payment can be made in a number of ways:
Sort Code: 309596
Account Code: 27814368
Please use your house number and name as the reference.
Complete this form and pass payment in a sealed envelope to Clare or Andre at 31 Fairfield Road.

The Council will be sweeping the street at 7:30am, please move your car to Peter Symonds College car park by then or the evening before. Apologies for the early start, this is the latest the council could do!
The Council will sweep the street at 7:30am so you will need to move your car/s off Fairfield Road to Peter Symonds’ College car park (off Owens’ Road) by 7.30am latest, or the night before if possible! We’ll decorate the street with bunting, set up the stage and put out the tables. And do introduce yourself to some new people – the street party has been the beginning of many lasting friendships!
Please help any small children dress up in their favourite fancy dress costume and go to the Home Gazebo for face painting, kids tattoos and craft activities. Also, Anna & Michelle have some exciting activities planned for the older children. And whatever your age, have a go at some traditional street games – try Thwack the Rat, Ball in the Bucket, skipping or hopscotch. You can get balls, ropes and chalks from the Home Gazebo. The Fulflood Arms will be serving real ales, with Pimms and bottled cider also available. Keep your cool with an ice cream from the ice cream van arriving between 2pm and 4pm.
Our traditional Children’s Fancy Dress Parade is at 3.15pm with prizes for best dressed boy and best dressed girl!
Our funky community music event features rhythms drummed out on pots, pans, bongo drums – just grab anything you can find in the kitchen.
Take your little ones to the stage area to boogie on down to a specially compiled play list!
We’re still finalising details for a hog roast or BBQ, but don’t worry you won’t go hungry! New for this year! Curry available from a new local business Vasanti’s Indian Food, serving meat and vegetable curries, rice and onion bhajis.
Bring your glasses to the Home Gazebo to toast the oldest and youngest members of the street. There’ll be plenty of tables to share your own delicious food and drink with neighbours, friends and guests. You’ll need to provide your own plates, cutlery and chairs. If you don’t want to cook head to the BBQ or curry stall!
Get your dancing shoes on with live music from local band 5hades of Grey! With an extensive repertoire ranging from 1950’s classics, through funk, soul, rock and pop to the present day, you’ll be sure to hit the dance floor.
Continue to dance the night away with music from The Fairfield Road playlist. The street party winds up by midnight latest.
