VILLAGE CAR SHOW & FAMILY DAY (Rec Field) Update. No falconry this year – but we do have reptiles coming instead!. Fancy a cuddle of a crocodile or a ‘snake necklace’ then do come along. 😀 The day starts with a car show followed by the village day activities. Usual breakfast baps and other food and drinks available all day. This is an event for the whole family with a lot of attractions and stalls including a reptile display (including handling for photos), fun dog show, bouncy castle and harness goats. See latest flyer for more information.

We would welcome any offers of help to Marshall or staff some of the stalls on the day. If you can spare just an hour it would be appreciated.
