The festival originated from the South Weald Flower Festival which started in 1964 and has evolved each year to become the South Weald Patronal Festival which was a week long event for the first time in 2014. In recent years the event has taken place across 3 days at the end of June and includes events such as the Teddy Bears Picnic, the South Weald Golf Day, School Fayre, Music Concerts, Festival BBQ & Patronal Festival.
