Chearsley Village Classic and Vintage Fun Day - Sunday September 13
Gates open at 12 noon for free entry. Off road car parking nearby and provision for disabled drivers. One of the highlights of this event will be the Spitfire Fly-pass which is programmed to take place at 12.30pm, so prompt arrival would ensure a view of this aerial display. Included in the afternoon’s entertainment are some live bands. There is a welcome return of EJ or Emily Jane, a 16 year old from High Wycombe with a lovely voice who writes her own songs. Also providing musical entertainment will be Blind Drunk, a duo from near Milton Keynes who take their name from the keyboard player who is blind. So bring a seat, grab a burger and a beer and sit and enjoy the music before having another look round at the vintage vehicles and other side shows.
