Events

We work with community partners to organise a series of large public events in each of our market towns, offering something for everyone to enjoy all year round.

Keep up to date with what's happening by following us on Facebook. 

Book a stall at a Four Seasons event

• Book to attend our events online OR;
• Request a booking pack by emailing marketsandevents@fenland.gov.uk.

The deadline for bookings is 4 weeks prior to the event date.  Pitches start from £20.

If you are a caterer, entertainer or amusement provider please do not complete an online booking, please contact marketsandevents@fenland.gov.uk directly.

We are keen to ensure that our events continue to offer a wide variety of quality attractions and entertainment too. If you have a service that's unique and you are interested in attending a Fenland event, please contact us. Remember to provide a quotation if you would like to be considered by the event committees.

Caterers

If you would like to provide catering for one of our annual town events, please email marketsandevents@fenland.gov.uk. We will then send you an invitation to tender.

All caterers are expected to have:

• A food business registration
• A risk assessment (including fire risk)
• A gas and/or electrical safety certificate
• A minimum of £5m public liability insurance
• A food hygiene rating for 3 or above

Preference will be given to companies offering cuisines not otherwise offered at the event or within the town. Catering pitch fees range between £25 and £150. 

Every year we welcome thousands of visitors to our towns to enjoy a wonderful array of food, entertainment and stalls. The footfall at these events is typically 3,000 - 5,000.

Fenland District Council on behalf of the respective events committees invites expressions of interest for the provision of catering as follows: 

• Savoury Catering 
• Tea/Coffee/Hot chocolate
• Outdoor Bar services 
• Ice Cream
• Crepes/Donuts/Waffles
• Chestnuts

Ideally, we are looking for a variety of different cuisines not otherwise offered in the town at an affordable price point for visitors.  The fixed pitch fees are within the expression of interest form below. For the December events we would favour specifically festive food. Owing to the increased popularity of the events we will not be in a position to offer every caterer a pitch at every event, however where possible the committees will endeavour to share the events amongst those who have applied. 

Companies with experience in outdoor catering concessions with a food hygiene rating of 3 or above should express their interest in writing or email by Friday 24th February 2023. Please return the following:

1. Page 2 of the expression of interest from below with the event and pitch you prefer ticked 
2. A menu of the food/drink including prices to the public. 
3. Your full business/contact information, if not already provided.

We ask that you only select the events to which you are committed to attend. If you are chosen we will contact you for a copy of your safety documentation and payment in advance. We look forward to receiving your applications.
