Festival Backgound
The Fen Edge Family Festival has now become an established bi-annual event based in and around Cottenham Green and is organised and promoted by the Fen Edge Community Association which is a registered charity. The Association encompasses the villages of Cottenham, Rampton, Willingham, Landbeach and Waterbeach.
The festival has been underwritten by the Fen Edge Community Association and has grown from strength to strength. Like all community run events there is a team of people behind the scenes, but they are always on the look out for volunteers for running events, marshalling on the day or helping to clear up at the end!
The Fen Edge Family Festival events and activities take place at local venues. The Main Site with the market stalls and bulk of events and activities is on and around Cottenham Village Green and Cottenham Village College, including the brand new Sixth Form Centre. Other venues include Cottenham’s new Community Centre (opposite the Co-Op on the High Street), All Saints Parish Church, Willingham Social Club, Willingham Ploughman Hall Willingham. The Open Gardens are spread throughout Cottenham and full details will become available nearer the time.
