our village fete is back like burt bacharach

It's time to dust off the bunting and straw hats again and start getting ready for the innocent village fete 2008. We've booked up our same little corner of Regent's Park, London, for the weekend of Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd of August this summer. The innocent village fete is back.

And so are our friends from last year, the brasstastic Faireys Band (we had to have them back after this)

and the marvelous Earl Okin.

Amongst many, many other musical and fete like highlights. Watch this space as they say.

Tickets are now available here, £7.50 for adults and £3.50 for kids (plus a £1.50 adult booking fee and £1 kids booking fee). Under 3s can come along for free. Both days sold out last year, so don't hang about, get yours sharpish.

Hi there,
Very much looking forward to the fete but can I ask why there is a £1.50 booking fee per ticket? Seems a bit cheeky as tickets are essentially £9 not £7.50. Who does the booking fee go to? xx

Hello Caitriona.

Last year, we decided to pay the ticket agency booking fees ourselves . However, because the fete is expensive to run this year, unfortunately we can't do that this time. Since we don't have the ability to sell tickets ourselves, we needed to work with a ticket agency to make sure everything runs smoothly and all the ticket agencies we spoke with insist on charging a per ticket fee. The reason we charge a smaller fee on children's tickets is because the ticket price is less. We'll definitely have a think about how we could do a family ticket for next year though. Plus if you print your ticket at home, you don't have to pay for your tickets to be delivered to you.

Hope that all makes sense . We're very excited about our fete this year so hopefully look forward to seeing you in the park.

Hi
I bought my tickets this morning but I have still not had an email sent to me to have them printed out. How you did things last year was much better.
