Histon and Impington Feast

Histon and Impington Feast Week is an annual celebration during which the villages raise money for the local community.

In 2024, Histon and Impington Feast raised nearly £5,000, including a generous donation from Open Gardens, despite a rain affected Feast Week. This meant that we were able to provide funding to the following local organisations:

Camtrust – improvements and insulation of bike refurbishment workshops
Hope Again Bereavement Support – contribution to running meetings
Histon Cricket Club – electronic scoreboards and maintenance to score hut
Histon & Impington Brook Primary School – a permanent outdoor play area for Early Years
Histon & Impington Hedgehog Champions – equipment for making gardens hedgehog friendly
1st Histon Scout Group – canoes and trailer
Histon Bowls Club – equipment and promotional material
Cambridge Acorn Project – panoramic support for child victims of abuse and trauma
Blue Smile – mental health support at Brook Primary School
Histon Methodist Church – refurbishment of toilets
Histon Howlers Junior Netball Club – establishment of a new Year 6 team
Histon & Impington Bicycle Club – gazebo for club and community events
Firs House Patient Participation Group – community health events
Histon Scouts – establishment of Squirrels section for 4-6 year olds

We’re starting to plan next years Feast Week and hope to be able to run the Festival event on the High Street. If you have any ideas or your organisation wants to get involved in any aspect of Feast Week, please talk to the committee – we’re meeting in the Red Lion on Thursday night at 8pm on 29 Nov or drop Steve an email – stevecox.histon@gmail.com

Feast Magazines with lots of information about the events and charities supported are available from the Post Office and Topiary Tree.
