Bute Avenue is a short walk from the Sudbrook Lane bus stop serviced by both the 65 and 371 buses from Richmond, or Kingston.
Each year in July the society holds its ever-popular Flower Show and Fete. In 2026, the 119th Summer Show will return to the delightful venue of Sudbrook School Hall, Bute Avenue after a break of three years. There are over a hundred classes across many categories, including flowers, fruit and vegetables, cookery, photography, arts and crafts and, of course, the junior classes. The Fete run by the community is a traditional affair with Punch and Judy, face painting, side stalls, raffle and plenty of games for younger visitors. There is a tea stall brimming with home-made cakes and tea. A highlight is the Maypole dancing display by the pupils of The Russell School. We are delighted to receive donations for the cake stall, tombola, plant stall and bottle stall.
To give an impression of this most traditional family day out, please have a look at this short video .
