Thursday 11 July 2024 will see Backup Tech’s The Village Fete return to Daytona Sandown Park in Surrey.
“We had such great feedback about last year’s fete that we’re adding more fun and frivolity,” commented Backup’s Lee Dennison. “Last year, we changed the whole look and feel of the day to make sure the Village Fete appealed to so many more people outside of the karting. This year, we’re building on the success of the fete by adding more fete stalls, a ‘Veg Off’ to complement our very successful ‘Bake Off’, bringing back the Lions Barbers Collective, The Straw Stage for live music and workshops, Peasant Shooting with laser clay shooting, our brilliant Food and Craft Fest stalls and, of course, Vinnie and his ice creams.”
Adding to the Parish judging panel in 2024, Martin Fullard has been enlisted to provide a corporate approach to cake eating and will be joining the judging panel alongside LSi’s Claire Beeson, TPi’s Stewart Hume, AAA’s Chris Barrett and PLASA’s Peter Heath. “We realised there were a lot of calories consumed by the judges last year,” Lee laughed, “so adding Martin might help spread the load!”
The Backup village Council also wanted to offer something different for companies wanting to attend, but not wanting to take part in the karting. To this end, the Manor House has been created as another way to join the fun. ‘Pre-built’ gazebos, fully furnished and with their own VIP bar.
Of course, there will also be the karting competition, including the now famous 5 Star Cases Flight Case Relay.
“With lots of fun for racers and non-racers alike, it’s sure to be another fantastic day,” concluded Lee. “Watch out for ticketing details on our social channels and the Backup Tech website.”
