Amesbury Super Fete III coming soon

Thursday, 17 August 2023 01:00

Thousands of people are expected throughout the day to attend the Amesbury Super Fete, sponsored by Home Bargains, on Sunday, 27th August - with this year's event set to be the biggest yet.

This year's event will see a parachute jump into the arena by the Red Devils and a festival-style stage, with live music throughout the day from names like Break Cover, Take Two and Deploy DJs - as well as a full-sized FunFair from Stokes Funfair.

In the main arena, new for this year, will be a host of displays, including a bike stunt show from the Savage Skills stunt display team.

Making a return will be the Food & Drink village and Market & Craft areas, with dozens of traders expected selling items such as handmade items, arts & crafts, toys, gifts and more. Super Fete staples such as the Dog Show, Family Run Races, and Bumper Car Boot Sale will also return.

For younger visitors, there will be lots of attractions such as rides and a climbing wall, as well as plenty of free attractions and activities such as a visit from some camels, static displays including blue light services and the military, a giant sand pit, disc golf and a 'have a go' circus.

Organised by volunteers from Amesbury Carnival Committee and The Stonehenge Chamber, the free event is now in its third year and will take place 12-8 pm at the new location of QinetiQ Sports Complex, Stockport Rd, Amesbury (SP40AJ). Onsite disabled parking is available, and other parking is available outside the main gates.

More information and online stall/pitch booking can be found via the website; https://amesburycarnival.org.
