FOSP events
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 an event.
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!

Fire Station open day
26th September 2026
Coggeshall Fire Station is holding an open day on 26th September 2026, 10am – 3pm, giving families the chance to get up close with the Essex County Fire & Rescue Service. Expect live demonstrations including fire safety displays and vehicle rescue simulations, plus the chance for children to explore the station and meet the crew. Free to attend and a great day out for all ages.
We do need a few volunteers to bake items for the cake stall, and also help serve and sell refreshments. Please sign up!
Lego Afternoon
3rd October 2026
Join us for a Lego afternoon for children aged 3 and over. Tickets for children are just £3, and all children must be accompanied by an adult (no ticket needed).
Local favourite Gary Harvey will be on hand selling his popular mini figures, always a hit with the kids, and there’ll be refreshments available in return for a donation.
Come along, build something fun, and support FOSP while you’re at it, probably eating a slice of cake.
We hope to see you there!
You can buy your tickets online and also sign up to volunteer.
Fireworks Display
8th November 2026
Our annual fireworks display is back, proudly sponsored by Heritage. Doors open at 4pm, with no entry after 5pm and the display kicking off at 5:30pm. There’ll be a bar, hog roast, tuck, and glow sticks on the night.
Buy your tickets early – it really does pay off. Adult tickets are just £8 until 10th October, rising to £10 from 11th October and £12 on the door. Children aged 2-16 are £4 early bird, £6 from 11th October, and £8 on the door. A family ticket (2 adults, 2 children) is £22 before October and £28 from 11th October – family tickets aren’t available on the door, so don’t leave it too late.
All profits go straight back into school funds.
Last year the event did sell out – but we also had some returns come in on the night. If tickets sell out before you get yours, it’s still worth turning up early and joining a queue for them, as around 50 tickets did become available on the door.
Please note: no sparklers, no unaccompanied children under 16, and no dogs or smoking on school grounds.
As always, we really need volunteers. Without them, events are in jeopardy of being cancelled. Please sign up early to avoid us having to consider cancelling the event. If we don’t have enough volunteers one week before the event, we will do a final call for volunteers before reviewing if we can put the event on.
Quizz for a Wizz
September date - postponed
Think you know your films, TV, and music? Come and prove it at the Chapel for a quiz night raising money to renovate the school toilets.
Teams of four, £5 per person, pay cash on the night. As well as the quiz itself there’ll be prizes, a raffle, and a silent auction.
To book your table, call the Chapel on 01376 561655. All proceeds go directly to St Peter’s School.
This event had been scheduled for September, but has had to be postponed
