Originally called the Binsted Horticultural Show and then the Binsted Fete & Flower Show, the first mention of a similar community event in our beautiful Hampshire village was in the Binsted School's Log Book back in 1893. At that time, the Show used the Schoolrooms, which meant that no School could be held on those days and the Head Teacher made an entry in the Log Book saying ...
26 July 1893 “Flower Show and Fete. The children competed with dressed dolls and wild flowers.”
Our fabulous history buffs found some amazing photos of Fete records...
More recently, we've been given some photos from the 2006 Fete - it looks like lots of fun being had! Do you recognise anyone? Why not help us put names to faces - Get in Touch
