Vintage Vehicles and Very Large Vegetables: The 2025 Summer Fête Round-Up
Classic cars, a dog show, and Steptoe’s Corner doing brisk business. A look back at another cracking Beachcombers Village Fête.
This year's Village Fête delivered exactly what it promised, a proper Dorset knees-up. Rows of gleaming vintage cars, lorries and tractors lined up for the crowds, the dog show produced its usual mix of very good boys and questionable judging decisions, and Steptoe's Corner did brisk business as always.
Huge thanks to everyone who came, stalled, judged, baked, or just turned up with cash for the raffle. See you next year.
