Eton Action Fair, 11am-4pm, Saturday 14 September 2024
The Eton Action Fair is Eton Action’s biggest charity fundraiser event of the year!
Eton Action transforms Eton College’s grounds into a community fair every year to fundraise for five chosen charities. Games, stalls and performances are organised by the students and staff of Eton College to raise money for charities supported by Eton Action (an independent charity conceived of and founded by Etonians to promote charitable activity and social responsibility). In addition to this, many outside organisations, mainly charitable foundations, are invited to arrange stalls and raise funds for their own causes. Every year, the fair draws thousands of visitors from Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead, as well as parents and friends of Etonians, and raises large sums of money for a wide range of charitable causes. The income from all these events is pooled and divided between charitable foundations and projects chosen by the committee and voted on by every boy in the school.
For updates and maps leading up to the fair, please follow the Eton Action Fair event page.
