What is ‘Fete in a Box’?

Our ‘Fete in a Box’ Countdown is the predecessor to our book: The Practical Fete Handbook for Fundraising Event Organisers! The book contains all of the information in this article and so much more – consolidated in an easy-to-read format, including the bonus: 99 Fete Stall Ideas! You can buy the book in printed form or as an eBook here.

7 Months to Go! It’s time for:

Convenor

  • (Or this one can be treasurer or stalls convenor – whoever is dealing with ATM hire).  If you have already booked an ATM, check back in with your supplier or look around to see if you still have a good deal. They can be quite variable.

☐ Logistics

  • Keep on keeping on 😉

Stalls

  • Host an info night for stall coordinators and people interested in becoming involved. Follow up through class coordinators to drum up interest.
