THE ANNUAL UPTON GREY AUTUMN FESTIVAL
The sailing elements above are not relevant to the Festival
THIS YEAR, Saturday, 25th October, 2025, we are having a halloween event for children starting at 4pm in a marquee at the Hoddington Arms (The Hodd) in addition to our bonfire and fireworks display. After the fireworks there is a disco being held in the marquee. Food and drink is available from 4pm and into the evening
At 6pm we gather at the Hodd for a procession leading to the Hoddington Estate for our bonfire and professional fireworks display. Mulled wine is available and the local bellringers ring out an Autumn Peal as the procession leads off
Afterwards you can return to the Hodd for an evening event in a marquee in their back garden.
In the Marquee will be a DJ and dancing with BBQ style food and drinks available for purchase.
During the previous week, we will also be holding our Guy Fawkes in the Village competition judged by an independant panel with a cup as first prize. We will also have a Jack O'Lantern (carved pumpkin - see photo below) competition around the village with a similar format.
