The history of the feast day extends back to 1229 when King Henry III granted a right to the Lord of the Manor to hold an annual fair on the day and eve of the Feast of St. Peter.

Today’s event is a far cry from those medieval times.  However, since moving the Feast Day event back to Gold Hill Common in 2009, the crowds have been attending in growing numbers year on year and last year we had over half the population of the village attend the Day’s activities and a similar crowd enjoy the evening concert.

As a result of the success of last year’s event the Feast of St Peter gave £8,500 to local good causes.

Once again this year, there is an exciting and varied line-up of entertainment and activities, and this will conclude with a concert at The Fairweather Insurance Arena by Fleetwood Bac, the UK’s leading Fleetwood Mac tribute band. www.fleetwoodbac.co.uk

There are many acts showcasing their talents throughout the day at the arena.  Some of the highlights include: Chalfont St Peter C of E Academy Gymnastics, GMG Falconry, Pink Academy, Trapdoor Performing Arts School, Zumba Dance, a Parade of Classic Cars and much, much more….

The Feast of St. Peter 2012 is set to once again be a fabulous day of family fun and entertainment, and raise even more funds for local charities and good causes.

We look forward to seeing you there and  please remember to visit the Fairweather Insurance Stall where we will be offering deliciously fruity smoothies!!
