The fete is held concurrently with the Flower Show on the playing field off Gooseacre. It consists of a variety of stalls, raffles, tombolas, etc in aid of local groups, as well as entertainment events staged mostly in an arena. Cream teas are provided in the pavilion with excellent musical accompaniment by the Radley College Big Band.

Each year the fete has a theme. In 2007 it was the 1940s.
