Feast of St. Peter 2012
Saturday 30th June
10:15am – ‘til late
The history of the feast day extends back to 1229 when King Henry
III granted a right to the Lord of the Manor to hold an annual fair on the day
and eve of the Feast of St. Peter.
Today's event is a far cry from those medieval times.
However, since moving the Feast Day event back to Gold Hill Common in 2009, the
crowds have been attending in growing numbers year on year and last year we had
over half the population of the village attend the Day's activities and a
similar crowd enjoy the evening concert.
As a result of the success of last year's event the Feast of St
Peter gave £8,500 to local good causes.
Once again this year, there is an exciting and varied line-up of
entertainment and activities, and this will conclude with a concert at The
Fairweather Insurance Arena by Fleetwood Bac, the UK's leading Fleetwood
Mac tribute band. www.fleetwoodbac.co.uk
There are many acts showcasing their talents throughout the day at
the arena. Some of the highlights include: Chalfont St Peter C of E
Academy Gymnastics, GMG Falconry, Pink Academy, Trapdoor Performing Arts
School, Zumba Dance, a Parade of Classic Cars and much, much more….
The Feast of St. Peter 2012 is set to once again be a fabulous day
of family fun and entertainment, and raise even more funds for local charities
and good causes.
We look forward to seeing you there and please remember to
visit the Fairweather Insurance Stall where we will be offering
deliciously fruity smoothies!!
