Information for Craft, Demonstrators and Commercial Stallholders 2026
Held every two years the Coldridge Fete & Vintage Rally offers visitors a quintessential village fete experience including stalls and craft demonstrations, children’s games and entertainments, wildlife stands, competitions, food and refreshments, live music, a Vintage Vehicle and Tractor parade, a Fun Dog Show along with a Flower Festival hosted in the historic setting of St. Matthew’s Church!
This event has grown in popularity over the years and now attracts a sizeable footfall of visitors of all ages from Mid-Devon and further afield. As such it offers an ideal opportunity to promote your business to the local community and its residents. One of the attractions we are proud of at the Coldridge Fete & Vintage Rally is the interesting selection of traders, craft stalls and craft demonstrators that are attracted to join-us on Fete Day.
Commercial or Craft Stallholders
For commercial traders, a standard ‘outdoor’ pitch (where stallholders provide their own float, table, chairs and suitable shelter/gazebo) is sized at 4 m x 4 m and costs £25.
For 2026 we also have a limited number of indoor/covered locations with table & chairs provided by the fete, available at a cost of £40 per pitch.
Both these options include two free passes to enter the field; additional passes are charged at the standard fete entry rates of £5.00 per adult (Children 16 and under are free).
Craft Demonstrators
The Coldridge Fete Committee is keen to promote traditional crafts that are, or used to be, carried out in the agricultural countryside. Many rural crafts that were once widespread are, sadly, rapidly disappearing and we would like to help preserve those skills by demonstrating and sharing them with both old and new generations.
If you can interact with the public and demonstrate a skill that represents a rural craft, then we would like to invite you to join us on afternoon of 27th June 2026 free of charge as an exhibitor/demonstrator. (You are welcome to sell the fruits of your labours but we would appreciate a donation in return).
