We will keep updating this page with our events for the year. Some of the dates will need to be TBC as they will rely on external factors, but we will do our best to confirm them as soon as possible!
If you want to get involved in any of these events, then just get in touch. It might be you help run the bar for an hour at Inflatables Day, support the Father’s Day stall for one lunchtime in school, or put up some posters to advertise the Scarecrow Trail.
With future events, we are always looking for support in having prizes donated, match funding or time actually organising or setting up an event. You don’t have to be on the committee to help and you won’t even need to attend any meetings if you don’t want to!

Autumn disco
Our first disco is in the diary for Friday 15th November – it will run from 5-6pm for the infants, and then 6.15-7.15pm for the juniors.
Stick £3 to a piece of card with your child’s name on it so they can get quick entry into the disco.
It can get rather hot in the hall so please bring a bottle of water for your child to stay hydrated!
If your child has a phone, please make sure they leave it at the front desk so it can be collected once the lights are turned back on.
We will be publishing a price list of the tuck and items they can buy here in the week before the disco, as well as a suggested spending limit.
Finally, we always need volunteers for discos! If you can help out, please sign up here.
Fireworks Night
Our biggest fundraiser of the year is back, and it’s set to be better than ever.
More information and tickets are available here. We sell out quickly, so grab your tickets early!
Fireworks Night raises over £8,000 annually, and we need your help to make it happen.
To volunteer, take a look at how you can support the event here. We need helpers to set up, run stalls at the event (which will all shut in time for the big display) and tidy up the next day.
Wreath making
Join us for two festive evenings of wreath making at Jordan’s Farm on the 3rd and 4th of December from 7:00 to 9:30pm. These special events are a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit while raising money for FOSP.
Tickets are £60 each and include all materials, along with seasonal refreshments. Gather your friends for a creative night out, and leave with a beautiful handmade wreath to adorn your home!
Given the event is in Wakes Colne and we are offering festive fizz, we’re aware some people may want a lift. Simply get in touch with us via [email protected] and we will be able to help get you there and back!
