Daytime activities at Party on Potton
All daytime activities are free to take part in. You'll only need to put your hand in your pocket (or use your smartphone wallet!) if you want to buy a drink from our licensed bar or food from one of the various food stalls.
This is made possible thanks to the fundraising activities of the committee since the last Big Weekend and the generous support of sponsors.
