Bunbury Village Day

We are delighted to announce that Bunbury Village Day will take place on Saturday 8 June 2024 and this year we will be celebrating the wonders of water in our very own Aqua Fest!
This year’s theme was inspired by us discovering that this year marks the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, the amazing volunteer run charity that save lives at sea.
We are inviting a host of water related organisations and companies from charities to, water suppliers, to entertainers, to take part in the day and of course we want to highlight our very own Bunbury Water Mill and Bunbury Staircase Locks.
It’s now time to start planning your water themed costumes. We are looking forward to seeing Mermaids, Water Sprites, Sailors, Pirates, Sea Creatures, Deep-Sea Divers and Synchronised swimmers! And don’t forget there will be prizes for the best dressed!
This greatly anticipated day will also include all the traditional elements that make up a great Bunbury Village Day including, the much-admired Chester Brass Band, Bunbury Royalty - the Rose Queen, Rose King and their attendants, a well-stocked bar, a mouth-watering BBQ, a myriad of stalls, the classic WI café, thrilling fairground rides…. the list goes on!
We will once again bring the day to a fabulous finale with some great local bands including The Easy Peelers who love nothing more than getting a crowd dancing and singing along, playing everything from The Beatles to 90s indie, from Motown to recent chart hits.
