A donation of £500 has been from our Congleton community fund to Marton Wakes Fete that was used towards hiring a marquee.
The annual event raises vital funds for the maintenance and upkeep of Marton Church, the oldest half-timbered church in Europe.
Becky Hargreaves from Marton Wakes Fete Committee said: “This year’s event was the first one we’ve held since covid, and it was great to be able to bring the community together again, despite the weather not being on our side. The fete is such an important fundraising opportunity for the church as any work carried out on a church as old as ours is very costly and takes a lot of fundraising.”
Plans are currently being drawn up to install toilets and a path from the car park for disabled access to ensure the church is a place where everyone is welcome.
The fete, that was held on Marton School Field, saw the crowning of the new Rose Queen and King.
“Redrow’s kind donation meant that we were able to take shelter from the great British weather so we were very thankful for that on the day,” added Becky.
Redrow NW sales manager Amanda Hollins said: “Community events like the Marton Wakes Fete are a fantastic way of bringing a everyone together. Redrow doesn’t just build thriving communities, but we also ensure that we invest and support existing neighbourhood via our community funds. Helping an event such as the fete is exactly what our funds are there for and we’re really pleased we were able to play some part in this event.”
