Ingatestone Summer Show – Save the Date!
We’re busy getting everything ready for this year’s Ingatestone Summer Show, happening on Saturday 19 July – so save the date for the village’s biggest summer event!
Last year’s show was a fantastic day out, with families enjoying the sunshine, great food, and brilliant entertainment. Local clubs, groups, and businesses joined in, and this year is shaping up to be even better.
Entry is completely free, and the funfair will be back with £5 wristbands for unlimited rides.
What can you expect?
• A Horticultural Show in the main marquee
• A packed arena with entertainment, children’s races, and a little surprise – something new for this year!

We still have a few spaces available, so if you’d like to run an activity, promote your club or business, or just get involved, get in touch at comms@ingatestone-fryerningpc.
And if you can spare a few hours to volunteer, we’d love to have you on board.
Let’s make Saturday 19 July another amazing day for the whole village!
