The village of Layer Marney organise a good old-fashioned fete once a year. Moved from May to August this year it is your opportunity to smash plates, buy jam, splat the rat and enter your dog into one of the silliest of Dog Shows.
As if the village Fete is not enough, throughout the day, camped in the field will be the Companye of Merri Folk. A Tudor encampment keen to show you how life was in Tudor times. They welcome you to see, touch and smell what they are up in the camp.
