This year the Eastern Cultural Fête has moved from its usual place of The Green opposite The Hamilton Arms to The Grange Leisure Centre in Midhurst. The decision to move was made because last year (2007) was the first time in 15 years that torrential downpour really spoiled everything! This year we are under a big roof which should keep us all dry. We will of course do our best to recreate the atmosphere of the Fête that you have all become accustomed to and enjoyed over the years. If it works we will carry on at The Grange; if it doesn't, well, we will move back and take a risk with the British weather! Thank you whole heartedly for the support you have given The Mudita Trust over the last 15 years and hope to see you again this year.

Eastern Cultural Fête: history

The Eastern Cultural Fête takes place every May Bank Holiday in Stedham, West Sussex, held on the green opposite the Trust Headquarters - The Hamilton Arms. As well as being an excellent fundraiser for the Mudita Trust, it has also become a great favourite with locals and people from further afield.

The first Eastern Cultural Fête was held in 1992: the first ever fund raising event organised by the Trust. It proved to be a success and has lead to the Fête being held every year since then.

Visitors to the Fête will have a chance to taste a vast array of delicious Thai dishes and exotic fruit juices and herbal drinks. There are handicraft stores and display of traditional Thai art, glittering performances of Thai national dance and exhibition of Thai martial arts. All the profits of the Fête go toward the Mudita Trust fund.
