The Gorey Fete returns to Jersey but with a few surprises
The Gorey Fete returns to Jersey today (Friday 16 August) but with a few added surprises.
A silent disco and a children's fancy dress contest will be introduced to the event, alongside the usual spaghetti eating competition, beach games, entertainment, music and food.
The fancy dress contest will replace the traditional Bonnie Baby competition.
The family-friendly event raises money for charities each year and this year will donate money to All Matters Neurodiverse Jersey, Healing Wave, Diabetes Jersey and Motor Neurone Disease Association.
