It’s only 15 months until the 2020 Hambledon Midsummer Festival. It was big enough last year to be seen from outer space and someone arranged for the Google Maps satellite to pass overhead on fete day to prove it. Click on the image below for a larger view of The Cricket Green on fete day 2018.
Plans are afoot for 2020 and the dates have been set, the Festival will take place on the weekend of Friday 19th to Sunday 21st of June 2020. Get it in your diary.
While you’re doing that here are some other dates for your diary:
- Poetry, Music and Comedy with Ian McMillan & Luke Carver Goss at Hambledon Village Hall – Friday April 5th 2019
- Hambledon Shop End of Summer BBQ – Saturday 31st August 2019
- Hambledon Christmas Dance – Saturday 7th December 2019
The Calendar on the Village web site attempts to provide the dates of all the events going on in the village, if you know of an event that is missing from the Calendar then please send details to the web team.

Dear Fete Committee. Remember the old verse “30 days hath September…?” In your post you have managed to extend the month by a day to include the shop barbecue on the 31st! My diary has no such date. Do you mean Saturday 28th?
Well spotted Stewart, right day, wrong month, it’s Saturday 31st August, fixed now.
