Welcome to the 2016 Ashdown Weekend
Forty years ago, the very first Ashdown Fair programme stated that the chief objective of the whole event is to give parishioners the opportunity of working together in a common project and to provide events to interest all…
Many years later these are still the main aims of The Ashdown Weekend.
The ‘Weekend’ is now spread over three days. We are able to cater for even more interests and all ages. It was originally agreed that any proceeds from The Weekend would be put back into parish organisations, and this has been augmented to include local charities.
Every organisation in the locality has benefited at some time over these past 40 years; children’s groups, the Good Companions, football and cricket clubs, local schools, charitable bodies and many more have all received financial support.
We are delighted to announce that the 2016 Ashdown Weekend dates are 24th-26th June 2016 with the Ashdown Ball being held in the marquee on Saturday 25th June.
Tickets for the Ashdown Ball 2016 can be purchased online by clicking the button below or by visiting the Ashdown Ball page.
