In front of St James' Church. The Feast started in 1877 to raise funds for Addenbrookes Hospital, which then relied on voluntary contributions. Traditionally people who have moved away from the village would “come home for the Feast”. in 2000 the Feast was revived by the Parish Council, and over 2,000 people attend Feast events each year.
