The main action kicks off on Fathers Day, Sunday June 20, when the Wreningham Fete takes place from 11am to 4pm.

As well as live World Cup football and the Beer Festival there is a free admission fete on the village playing field.

Activities will include a chainsaw artist in action, ring events including a Tug-of War, a speed football challenge, World Cup pig racing, face-painting, craft activities, guess the name of the doll, bingo, stalls selling plants, bric-a-brac, books, cakes and jewelry, a raffle and tombola. There will also be lunches, teas, a barbecue and ice creams.
