Families gathered at Mowden Hall School for the annual Summer Fete, bringing a burst of sunshine and community spirit to an otherwise drizzly day.
Despite the weather, the event was a resounding success, with families coming together to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon of traditional games, delicious food, and charitable giving.
From sizzling BBQs and creamy ice creams to laughter-filled bouncy castles, there was something for everyone. Children and adults alike got stuck into much-loved fete favourites including Beat the Goalie, a Coconut Shy, Splat the Rat, Donut on a String, and a bustling tombola.
This year’s fete also had a fundraising focus, with almost £900 raised for the Great North Air Ambulance Service – a vital charity that provides emergency prehospital care across the North East, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria.
Phil Sturt, the Head of Mowden Hall School, praised the event: “It was wonderful to see so many families come together and enjoy a classic summer celebration, regardless of the weather.”
“The atmosphere was fantastic, and we’re thrilled to have raised funds for such a worthwhile cause. The Great North Air Ambulance provides a truly life-saving service across our region, and we’re proud to support their work.”
