Thank you to our friends! 

Many kind people and many local businesses, big and small, come together – giving of their time, donating prizes, and providing cash – to make the famous Coln St Aldwyns Children’s Fete & Produce Show what it is, the only fete in Gloucestershire dedicated entirely to raising funds for local children’s charities and activities.

We’d like to thank you all but particularly our 2023 sponsors who very kindly made generous donations.
