Bunbury Village Day will take place on Saturday 8 June 2024 and this year will be celebrating the wonders of water in Aqua Fest!

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, the amazing volunteer run charity that save lives at sea.

A host of water related organisations and companies from charities to, water suppliers, to entertainers, will be invited to take part in the day and of course Bunbury Water Mill and Bunbury Staircase Locks will be showcased.

It’s now time to start planning your water themed costumes. Mermaids, Water Sprites, Sailors, Pirates, Sea Creatures, Deep-Sea Divers and Synchronised swimmers are most welcome! 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!

The day will come 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.
