Abbeville Road, SW4 9JX

Now in its 21st year, the Abbeville Fete returns to Clapham this summer on Saturday 24th June 2017. Taking place on Abbeville Road, SW4, from 12pm to 4pm, the fete celebrates London’s diversity, community spirit and local enterprise by bringing Londoners and visitors together in raising funds for five local causes:

– Ace of Clubs (a day centre for homeless and vulnerable members of the community);
– Lambeth Summer Camps (enabling young people from deprived areas of the community to enjoy a summer programme of recreational and educational activities);
– Kids’ City (providing before and after-school schemes and holiday play schemes for the children of local families);
– Home-Start Lambeth (offering support, friendship and practical help to families with pre-school age children across Lambeth);
– Church of the Holy Spirit (Abbeville Road’s local Church – supporting their community outreach initiatives).

With more than 80 street stalls, a street BBQ and bar, a dedicated Kids Zone, a fancy dress parade (this year’s theme – Wild West), live music and a dog beauty pageant, the Abbeville Fete is one of London’s main social gatherings with activities and fun for all the family. Founded in 1997 by the Church of the Holy Spirit, last year the fete raised over £28,000 for its five local causes. Since its beginning, the fete has raised over £280,000.
