About The Fete

​Founded in 1997 by members of the Church of the Holy Spirit and located on Abbeville Road (AKA Abbeville Village), SW4, The Abbeville Fete celebrates London's diversity, community spirit and local enterprise by bringing Londoners and visitors together in raising funds for five local charities.
 
With 100 street stalls, a street BBQ and bar, a dedicated Kids Zone, live music and even a dog show, the Abbeville Fete is one of London's main social gatherings with activities and fun for all the family.
 
Organised and staffed entirely by local members of the community in coordination with the church, the history and success of The Abbeville Fete is entirely down to a fleet of volunteers giving up their time every year to organise and staff it. No event organisers are employed to stage the Fete.

Since its creation, The Abbeville Fete has raised an estimated £344,000 for local charities. ​In 2018, the Fete raised £34,000. Our current charities are:

​The legal bit:
The Abbeville Fete is a fund of the Church of the Holy Spirit. The legal entity used by the Fete for all its activities is the church charity number 1134600. The trustees responsible for the Fete, reporting to the Charities Commission, are the members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC). The PCC will receive a recommendation from the Fete committee as to how the funds generated are distributed. The fete committee look to find a balance between the charities in terms of the needs they serve and the charities being "local".
