END OF SUMMER FETE

Saturday 14th of September, 1-4pm
At Fountain Court (Housing 21)
Armstrong Street, Fountain Court, Gateshead NE8 4AF

We’re working with passionate members of the community and several other partner organisations to put together the first Racecourse Fete, which will take place this September. We’re looking for stall holders and performers, either to sell wares, inform the community about the work they do, or raise funds for charity. Stalls are free for charitable organisations and anyone providing an activity or information, but if you want to sell goods then your stall will cost £10. We will provide one folding trestle table and 2 chairs per stall booking, but you are welcome to bring your own in addition.

All activities, stall holders, and information must be family freindly - so no alcohol or any other wares marketted to over 18s please.

If you provide an activity that you would normally charge for, such as facepainting, please get in touch as we may commission you directly to deliver the activity as we want to keep as many activities as possible free for visitors.

 What Next?

Once you’re registered we’ll be in touch with more information about the ride, but you can start preparing right now!

  • Practice - get your bike out of the shed and give it a dusting down, make sure you’re comfortable and confident on two wheels, and book it for a service if there are any mechanical issues.

  • Plan - Check the route by clicking on the map, familiarise yourself with the waypoints, or you can even download the route to your own phone or GPS device if you’d like.

  • Sponsorship - If you want to raise funds for one of Bill’s favourite charities you can click the images below to set up a Just Giving page, or download our traditional sponsor form if you’d rather use pen and paper.
