Seigneur Christopher Beaumont said: “The Church Fete is the most traditional of traditions on Sark. Organised by fabulous volunteers who, like me, love the Church and want to see it thrive. Everything you do at the fete will be in aid of the Church, whether it’s winning a coconut, eating a delicious cream tea, browsing the book stall, or getting your hands on one of Auntie Helen’s famous lemon drizzle cakes; a fun time is guaranteed for the whole family. I look forward to seeing you there.”
