Village Fête
Date: Saturday, 27 June 2026
Time: 1pm – 4pm
The Garden of Kingston Bagpuize House has been the venue for the Village Fête for over 40 years. This is a true community event, with many villagers taking part in supporting their local groups, clubs and societies. Money is raised to help both local organisations and national charities.
There will be pedestrian access by the north gates next to St. John the Baptist church. Those coming by car will be able to park in our normal visitor car parking area.
Please be advised that, as with other Open Days and Event Days, only highly trained assistance dogs are permitted in the Garden. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed.
I just loved it, the owner was very friendly and we enjoyed hearing about Downton and Emma being filmed there, tea & cake very nice too!
Visited today a lovely experience, it was a Mother’s Day present. The owner greeted us at the gate & the staff were wonderful. The house guides were so knowledgeable & the tea tearoom staff so efficient & kind.
