Welcome to
Friends of Tewin organises events for the enjoyment and benefit of the village. Our group formed in 2001, developing out of a committee that was created in 1998 to plan events to celebrate the Millenium. The activities organised were enjoyed so much it was decided to continue and since then we have gone from strength to strength.
Our aim is to stage events for the enjoyment of Tewin's residents and to raise funds to assist community projects and organisations within the parish.
Our events have now become a regular part of village life, for example, Senior Citizens Lunch in February, Maypole Dancing by the children of Tewin Cowper School, Tewin Classic Car & Craft Show in August and the Carols on the Green in December.
Already in February this year we held the annual Senior’s lunch and our AGM

On Friday 2nd May, we helped to stage traditional dancing around the Maypole on Lower Green, by the children of Tewin Cowper Primary School. The morning was bright and sunny and the children danced beautifully.
On Monday 5th May we organised a Spring Picnic to commemorate VE Day 80th Anniversary. The afternoon started quite cold but very soon, the sun shone and a great afternoon was had by all. We had face-painting for the children, lots of traditional fun races for children and adults joined in too. And of course, lots of our famous home-made cakes!
We are pleased to list the most recent donations made by Friends of Tewin to groups/organisations in the village. All donations are made possible by the profit from the Classic Car & Craft Shows. Here is the list: Donations made in 2024 & 2025.
On Sunday 17th August, we were blessed with a beautiful August day and Upper Green was filled with around 500 Classic Cars and over 40 Craft Stalls. The public didn’t disappoint us, they came in their droves.
We were delighted to have Kevin of Wings of Welwyn as our Sponsor with his special cars.
Our local food outlets were busy too, with the Bumpkin’s popular hog roast, and the Chicken Strip’s chips going down well. The Tewin Country Wedding Bar kept us going in the heat, along with Frank’s Ice Cream vans!
We were pleased to welcome back the Monday Mojos Band and, this year, Off Broadway Travel in Welwyn sponsored the Steel Pan Band ‘Steel Pan in Motion’ which brought another ‘flavour’ to the show.
We are a small Committee and without our loyal volunteers, on the day and in the run up, the show wouldn’t happen. So, an enormous thank you to everyone who volunteered to be part of our team.

Date for your diary: Tewin Classic Car and Craft Show 16th August 2026.
