The Village Community Committee is here to provide and co-ordinate a number of social events within the village to help to maintain the community spirit. These events also provide the (legally required) maintenance of the village playground. Funds earned from these events pay for any repairs to the equipment and annual insurance, and to accumulate funding for replacement of equipment of high cost when required.

We are particularly keen to encourage families within the village with children who use the playground and field to provide input to these events to keep the playground up and running.

 

Our last Village Fete took place on Saturday 22nd June 2024 in the grounds of The Red Lion pub.

Thanks to the work of all of the groups within Castle Eaton, an amazing raffle, a huge selection of fantastic cakes, a number of stalls, including the plant stall and bottle stall, PLUS the iconic Duck Race raised a magnificent sum of £1162. ​​

As previously, funds from the fete were shared between the village groups who took part. 

​Due to a number of reasons there was no Fete or Barn Dance in 2025.

 

Our Bingo night on Tuesday 13th May 2025 was fun.

Thank you to Barry Wicks for acting as caller, and to all those who helped to run the evening with drinks, cakes and setting/clearing up. A good evening was had by all.

​

​Carol “Singing” around the village took place on Monday 22nd December 2025.

Thank you to those who took part in the singing, and to Mark and Carrie at the Red Lion and all who supported us with donations and hospitality. Due to the reduction of events in 2025 the collection this year was to raise funds for VCC. We collected £222.22, which will pay for the Playground Public Liability Insurance for the next 12 months.

Castle Eaton Village is a great community and ideas for social events for all ages would be greatly received by the Village Community Committee (names below) to plan the events of 2026.​
