    It was first established by Royal Charter in 1304 and has been enjoyed by villagers ever since.

    Now, following a two-year break due to the pandemic, the Hampsthwaite Feast and show is returning this weekend.

    This year the event, which is organised by volunteers for residents in the village, will start on Friday evening, kicking off with children's races.

    Saturday will include a pet show and a new and improved Hampsthwaite Run, which has been opened up to competitors from outside the village.

    The Hampsthwaite Feast Show will take place in the memorial hall and the traditional feast fancy dress parade is also back, accompanied by Tewit Youth Band. This year's theme is 'Children’s TV - past and present’.

    The event, which is aimed at emphasising the village's "wonderful community spirit", will finish with fireworks on Saturday night.

    Feast secretary Vicki Dixon said:

    "We are really thrilled it's coming back this year. Last year we had a smaller event, but we weren't able to do more than that. So we are really looking forward to celebrating as a village again."
