The Village Hall Committee
is looking at options for enhancements to the Old School Garden including a water feature, more seating and hard landscaping, as well as selective re-planting to increase year-round colour. We already have an outline plan but we want to hear the views of as many Parish residents as possible, so everyone is invited to a village open meeting on Wednesday 14 June at 7pm, in the hall. - June also sees two live music events in the village hall from very different ends of the spectrum:
– On Saturday 3 June (8pm), twice Grammy nominated, award-winning, US blues musician Guy Davis pays his third visit to the village as part of a very brief UK tour – more details here or go to ticket link. [Update – SOLD OUT – returns only]
