History

There has been an annual Fete held on Wix Village Green for many years. 

By 2012 the traditional Wix Fete had come to an end, however, the Wix Parish Council decided that it would be sad not to have an annual celebration so a sub-committee of the Wix Council was formed to organise a new event which was named the Wix Fayre. The new event was to incorporate a traditional style family event during the afternoon along with a music festival event during the evening.

The first Wix Fayre took place on September 14th 2013. It had been organised in a hurry, and the weather was awful, but it was enough of a success to encourage the Wix Fayre Committee to carry on working towards bigger and better Wix Fayre's! There was also enough local support for the Wix Fayre that it was able to become independant of the Parish Council, and an organisation in it's own right.

2014 saw the Wix Fayre moved to July in the hope of better weather, and we were rewarded with glorious sunshine for the afternoon. The music festival in the evening was also rocking along until approximately 10pm when sudden severe thunder storms brought a slightly premature end to the evening. 

However, overall, the 2014 Wix Fayre was a great success with approximately 800 visitors. The intention is to build on this and create a bigger and better Fayre year on year, and in 2017 we saw approximately 1000 visitors, and were able to attract more stalls
