Children's playground is open!
It has taken 2 years of hard work to get to this stage but it is looking fantastic and the children are thrilled with it. Built using mainly wood, the playground is based on a castle theme 'in keeping' with its village location.

Open gardens poster Thank you to everyone who helped with the Open Gardens and to all the visitors who made the day a success. All went extremely well and the sun shone so we couldn’t have asked for more!

However, we could not have done it without the kind offers from the garden owners who don’t mind warmly welcoming visitors to their beautiful gardens. Hopefully all the admiring comments made it worthwhile! So a big thank you to you all. Aound £660 was raised which will be split between the church and the village hall.

Bell Ringers wanted!
