I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'garden party' is the definition.

(Other definitions for fete that I've seen before include "Outdoor charity event" , "Holiday festival" , "A festival of feet" , "Village festivity" , "Outdoor charity function" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
