South Weald
Patronal Festival 2025

The Festival originated from the South Weald Church Flower Festival which had been going for several years as had the School Fete.  In 1964 the then Vicar, John Swallow, had the idea of combining the two Events on one weekend.  That weekend was to be that closest to our Patron St Peter’s Day, June 29th.  It has since evolved each year to become the South Weald Patronal Festival which was a week long event for the first time in 2014.  It starts with a Joint Music Concert on the Tuesday that leads into the main events taking place across 3 days in the last weekend of June, including a Teddy Bears’ Picnic, the South Weald Golf Day, School Fayre, Colour Run, Festival BBQ & Patronal Church Festival.
