This Sunday 10th of May, from 11am to 3pm, the grounds of Villiers School will come alive for the 2026 Villiers School Garden Fête

This Sunday 10th of May, from 11am to 3pm, the grounds of Villiers School will come alive with music, laughter, and community spirit as families, friends, past pupils, and local residents gather for the annual Villiers School Garden Fête.
Promising something for all ages, this community event is organised by the Parent-Teacher Association and is one of the highlights of the school calendar at Villiers.
Set in the beautiful gardens of the school’s historic buildings, Tivoli House and Derravoher House, this event is free to attend, and organisers are encouraging the wider community to come along. The school campus is dog-friendly, so four-legged family members are also warmly invited!
Visitors can browse a variety of stalls featuring baked goods, books, plants, and gifts, while younger guests will enjoy games and outdoor activities. There will also be live music performances and a raffle. Food lovers will have plenty to choose from, with tea, coffee, sweet treats, and barbecue favourites available throughout the afternoon.
The fête is not only a fantastic social occasion but also an opportunity to support the school community and the many activities and programmes that benefit students throughout the year.
Visitors can also get involved in the activities, by entering into a variety of categories in the dog show, including ‘best veteran dog’, ‘best dog led by child’, and ‘best fancy dressed dog’, or entering the baking competition!

Ahead of the event, Head of School Jill Storey said, “We are delighted to welcome families, friends, past pupils, and members of the wider community to this year’s Villiers School Garden Fête, an event that reflects the warmth, spirit, and sense of belonging that makes Villiers such a special place.
“It is always fantastic to see our school grounds filled with people enjoying time together, supporting the school community, and celebrating all that Villiers has to offer. We look forward to a fun-filled afternoon for all ages and hope everyone enjoys this special occasion.”
Mark your calendars for this Sunday from 11am to 3pm and join in what is sure to be a fantastic celebration at Villiers School.
