    EVENT DIARY

    Village fair, school and PTA event dates

    The local fairs, festivals and community days Jaflong is working to in Richmond, Kingston and south west London — with the dates we can stand behind.

    This page exists so organisers, PTAs and committees can see what we are already committed to before they contact us about catering for a village fair or a school event. Dates go on this list once the organiser has announced them or we hold them in writing — nothing here is a guess.

    If your event is not listed, that usually just means we have not been asked yet. Send us the date and we will tell you straight away whether the kitchen is free.

    Planning your own fair or school event

    A rough planning calendar, based on how local committees in Richmond and Kingston tend to work:

    • January to April — summer fetes, village fairs and school family days are settled, traders booked and pitch fees agreed.
    • May — menus, allergen paperwork and pitch logistics confirmed; posters and programmes go to print.
    • June and July — the busiest fair weekends of the year. Saturdays fill first.
    • September and October — Christmas fairs, quiz nights and PTA fundraisers are booked.
    • November and December — indoor school and community events, where we deliver hot rather than take a pitch.

    Whichever slot yours falls in, the organiser page sets out what we bring, what we do not do and how the commercial side works. School committees may also want the school and PTA catering page or the community partnerships hub.

    Submit your pitch details

    Pick the date you are organising for, or choose "another event" and type your own date. Your request lands in our sales inbox with a reference number and you will get an email confirming what we have recorded. Every booking needs a catering budget behind it — we do not provide donated food or free stalls.

    Request your written quote

    Tell us your date, guest numbers and the tier you have in mind — we'll come back with exact per-head pricing, usually the same working day.

    We use this to confirm delivery — free within 10 miles of TW10 7NF.

    Add your name, a phone number, a valid email address and the venue postcode to send this request.

    We only use your details to reply about your event. Prefer to talk? Call 020 8332 1339.

    Organiser questions

    Why are only a few events listed with dates?

    Because we only publish a date once the organiser has announced it or we hold it in writing. Guessing a fair date and getting it wrong wastes an organiser's time and our own, so an event stays in the unconfirmed list until we can stand behind the date.

    Can you add our village fair or school event to this list?

    Yes, if we are catering it or have agreed a pitch. Send us the event name, date, venue and expected attendance through the organiser request form and we will confirm availability first, then list it here with a link back to your own event page.

    When do school and PTA fairs usually book?

    Summer fetes and family days are usually settled between January and April for a June or July date; Christmas fairs tend to be confirmed in September and October. Saturday dates in June and July go first, so the earlier you ask the better.

    Do you take more than one event on the same day?

    Only where the timings and locations genuinely allow it, and we will say so plainly rather than stretch the kitchen. If a date is already committed we will tell you at the first enquiry instead of leaving you waiting.

    How much notice do you need for a fair or school event?

    As much as you can give for a summer Saturday. Smaller community events and indoor school evenings can sometimes be taken at a few weeks' notice — it is always worth a call on 020 8332 1339.
