Village Events
This annual village event has been run for over 100 years by a group of volunteers from the community and is a truly village affair!
There is always been lots on offer including maypole dancing, a Punch and Judy show, a display of classic cars and tractors and an array of inflatables for the kids plus a wide range of craft stalls and traditional fun games stalls! There is also always something new each year to keep you on your toes and get everyone involved from fencing and pottery throwing to Punch and Judy.
You will find plenty of refreshments: a fabulous BBQ offering local sausages and burgers, real ales and cocktails, plus an abundance of cake and cream teas which can be consumed while listening to bands and musicians showcasing our local talent.
There is also a Village Committee run Dog Show which is a firm favourite and a crowd puller. Bring your furry friend along to try and win ‘Waggiest Tail’ or ‘Owner that most looks like their Dog’!
Children from the local school sing and a traditional flower show that runs along side with prizes for everything from flower arrangements to homemade cakes and jams, and the largest and smallest fruits and vegetables.
