An annual Fete, Fair or Festival is a major fund raising activity for any school or community group. Many months of preparation are required to make the event a success

Here are some tips from the team at Bensons to help assist you with a successful event

Publicity is a really significant aspect – it is very important that you get the message out to the local community.

Local newspapers will usually give free publicity for events.

Invite local schools to attend.

School newsletters are the key promotion tool to school families.

Include an extra sheet specifically for fete promotion.

Start well in advance and promote a different stand each week using a different colored paper. Your school family is where you source your goods. Target a different item each week seeking requests for donations and help.
