From circus workshops and live music to local traders, community services and free family activities, Bugle Village Fete brought people together for a fantastic summer day. Around 250 people joined the celebrations on 15 August.
There was plenty to see, hear and get involved with in Bugle on 15 August, as our Village Fete brought together local families, community organisations, performers, traders and volunteers for a day of summer fun.
With approximately 250 people attending throughout the day, it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our community, discover local organisations and enjoy activities that everyone could take part in.
One of the highlights was the chance to try something a little different, thanks to Cirk Hes, who brought circus workshops to the fete. Whether people were trying out a new skill or watching others have a go, the workshops added plenty of energy and excitement to the day.
Music was another important part of the celebrations, with Kernow Music Foundation CIC helping bring live entertainment to the event. Supporting local creativity and giving people opportunities to enjoy performances close to home is something we really value, and it was lovely to have music forming part of the atmosphere throughout the day.
Alongside the entertainment, visitors could explore a market featuring local traders, bringing together a variety of stalls and giving people the chance to discover and support businesses from the surrounding area. For younger visitors, the free bouncy castle proved another welcome attraction, adding to a day designed to be fun and accessible for families.
“The fete was about making a day that everyone could enjoy, while giving people a chance to meet the organisations working in our community.”

Of course, the Village Fete isn’t just about entertainment. We also wanted to create opportunities for residents to connect with organisations offering useful local services and support.
Among those joining us were Community Energy Plus, helping people find out more about energy-related support, and Healthy Cornwall, whose team offered blood pressure checks during the event. They were joined by a range of other services and organisations, giving visitors the chance to have informal conversations, ask questions and find out more about the support available locally.
We’re also incredibly grateful to Truro Nourish Hub CIC, who provided free food for attendees throughout the event, helping make the day welcoming and affordable for everyone.
Bringing all these different elements together is what makes a community fete so special. There were opportunities to learn something new, enjoy music, support local traders, meet neighbours and discover services, all in the same place.
Events like this also take a lot of work behind the scenes, and we want to thank the volunteers, performers, traders, partner organisations and everyone else who contributed their time and energy to making the day possible. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came along and helped create such a positive atmosphere.
We’re proud to play our part in bringing people together in Bugle, and we’re already looking forward to doing it again. See you at Bugle Village Fete 2027!
