In the summer months it seems as though there are not enough weekends to fit in all the Fetes, Fayres and Garden Parties
To give you a flavour of some of the activities:

Open Gardens
At the height of the summer, a number of gardens in the town are open for charity (Witham in Bloom initiative)

Witham in Bloom Competitions
By July the town is looking a picture ready for the Witham in Bloom Competitions. The local businesses not only bedeck their premises with hanging baskets and window boxes but also generously sponsor the event. Local gardens vie with one another to win the coveted Best Front Garden Award.

Mediaeval Fayre
On the last Saturday in June, a Fayre is organised by people involved in the activities of Witham’s parish church, St Nicolas. Roads in the Chipping Hill area are closed and the green and street in front of the church is host to stalls, sideshows and games, many of which are given a mediaeval flavour.

Carnival Day
Witham Carnival is always the second Saturday in July, and a joyful occasion when business, clubs and groups decorate floats for parade through the Town Centre. Participants eventually reach the recreation ground where the arena events and displays are held. Stalls, sideshows and fairground attractions surround the arena. Profits are donated to various charities.
Witham in Bloom Awards Evening
As a thank you for all those who took part, in the autumn the prestigious Awards Evening, is held by the Witham in Bloom Conservation Group.

Annual Puppet Festival
Held in September, a fun day for all the family. Over the last few years this event has grown to be one of the biggest such events in the Eastern Region.

Firework Display
Organised by the Round Table and takes place on a Saturday in November.

Christmas Carol Service
Takes place in December around the Christmas tree in Newland Street.

Boxing Day Duck Race
