Loserville LOVES…Village Fêtes

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010. Filed under: Loserville loves...

JOKE OF THE DAY:

What do you call a really bad fête?

(Answer at the bottom of the page…oi, stop scrolling, read the article first!)

Loserville loves nothing more than a good ol’ knees up down the local village green.

We’re a crack shot at the coconut shy, and certainly know our way around a cake stall (shush).

There can be no better summer afternoon spent, than a day at the fête, picking up bargain homemade damson jam, and splatting the rat (if you’re lucky).

London-based Loserville sometimes gets a little sad at the lack of inner-city fêtes but…

FEAR NOT!

The Alternative Village Fête 2010 takes place this weekend as part of the Watch This Space Festival at The National Theatre.

They Say:

The Alternative Village Fete is home live art’s annual anarchic jamboree at the National Theatre. Expect a sideways slant on the traditional family day out where the folk is activism and the bunting is radical!

We will be presenting a packed programme of participatory and performance projects across the stage and stalls, embracing all that is Fete – the Morris dancing, the make do and mend, the British Gent, the tea & cake.  As well as artist’s fete games, 20′s style workouts, St John’s Ambulance amateur dramatics, gentlemen’s grooming and etiquette, Hill Billy barn dancing, rocking folk fusion live music and much much more!”

We Say:

Get on down to the South Bank for a weekend of marvellous entertainment (and cake!).

Check out the Perfromance Programme here –  the fête takes place on 28th August 1pm-7.30pm and 29th August 1pm-4pm by the river outside the National Theatre.

ANSWER:

A fête worse than death!

(Oh dear…)
