2014 Programme

For evening events we advise you bring torches, and please note the car park is a five-minute walk from St Mary's Church with a slight gradient. The Village Hall is almost opposite the car park. The Skittle Alley is at the White Horse Inn, a short way on from the church. For comfort, you may like to bring cushions or a rug if chilly to performances in the church
