There’s no better way to kick off the Bank Holiday than with a classic village get‑together - and this year’s event promises all the charm, competition, and community spirit we love.

We’re bringing everyone together for a friendly cricket match, an inter‑village tug of war, children’s games, delicious treats, and plenty of laughter. Whether you’re taking part or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a day designed for all ages.


🪢 Inter‑Village Tug of War:


  • 12:00pm – Tug of War

  • Contact Zoe if you’d like to join.

  • Open to all enthusiastic pullers - no experience needed, just spirit.


This will be the last event before our short break, so let’s make it a memorable one.


🏏 Friendly Cricket Match – Players Needed (Age 11+)


After the rope‑pulling dust settles, we head straight into our traditional village cricket match.


  • 1:30pm – Cricket Match

  • Open to anyone aged 11+

  • New players, seasoned players, and “haven’t‑played-in-years” players all welcome.


If you’ve ever fancied stepping onto the pitch, this is your moment.


🍰 Food, Drinks & Treats


No village event is complete without something tasty. Throughout the afternoon you’ll find:

  • A well‑stocked bar and refreshments

  • Teas, cakes, and children’s treats

  • A raffle with some brilliant prizes up for grabs


Bring your appetite - and maybe a little luck.


🎈 Fun for the Kids


We’ve planned plenty to keep younger visitors smiling:

  • Hook‑a‑duck

  • Treasure hunt

  • Lucky dip

  • Games and activities throughout the day


It’s a perfect family afternoon out.


🤝 Volunteers & Donations Welcome


Events like this thrive because of our wonderful community. If you’d like to help out — whether baking a cake, running a stall, or lending a hand on the day - we’d love to hear from you.
