Preparations are well underway for the 7th Alderley Edge Village Fete, which will take place at Alderley Edge Cricket Club on Sunday, 28th June.
Organisers Emma Bolton, Carole Geary and John Berry aim to bring something for all the family to the event, with 2015 seeing the return of popular activities and stalls, such as the children's fun fair, laser clay pigeon shoot, artisan stalls and the ever popular dog show.
Keith Lowe, Chairman of the Alderley Edge Music Festival, is arranging for musicians from local schools to perform throughout the afternoon.
The fete supports local charities and this year Francis House Children's Hospice, headed by Carole Geary and her team of volunteers, will be providing afternoon tea as well as manning stalls to raise vital funds for the hospice. Refreshments will also include a BBQ and Pimms bar.
John Berry said "The setting at the foot of the Edge offers the perfect backdrop to this traditional village event and culminates a number of community events held at the Cricket Club throughout the week."
The Alderley Edge Village Fete will open at 1pm and there is an entry fee of £2.50 for adults, and £5 for a family of 4.

On Wednesday, 24th June, there will be an "Antique Roadshow" style afternoon from 2pm until 6pm, where people can have items valued by experts from Wright Marshall Ltd.
