Our LUXURY WREATH-MAKING WORKSHOPS are taking place on Thursday 12th December & hosted by the uber-talented Harriet from The Lincolnshire Flower Company
Harriet (who’s wreath workshops sell out year-after-year), will expertly guide you through a two-hour workshop, sharing her toolkit of techniques and tips to help you create your show-stopping wreath. You will be able to choose from a selection of luxurious, festive ingredients to let your creative juices flow.
There are two sessions: 12-2pm with a light lunch included in the ticket price and 6-8pm with a glass of fizz and festive canapes and nibbles throughout.
Expert or beginner these workshops are for everyone to enjoy. So bring a friend (or two) or come alone and joyfully ease your way into the festive spirit in a warm and welcoming setting.

Seriously, you must not miss this one!
Last night, as the temperature dropped, the intrepid cast held their first outdoor rehearsal. Up until now it has been too warm for this (fool)hardy team of thespians to venture outside. Nothing like near freezing temperatures to get the juices flowing and for Pete the Piper to wet his lips and have a quick toot on his pipes! Despite several near misses with cars entering and leaving the car park at The Fox our brave band of heroes and heroines battled on with only one thing on their minds (No it wasn’t getting back to the bar as soon as possible) and that thing is to bring you all another blockbuster OSCAR winning pantomime.
The pantomime is on 22nd December at 6.00pm. By then you will have all the presents brought and wrapped, the turkey safely in the fridge, the pigs all cutely wrapped up in their blankets, the pudding lurking in the cupboard. You’re all ready, nothing else to do, so what better way to usher in Christmas Day than watching the Village Pantomime! The cast would love to see you there for another brilliant evening of unending fun!
Please remember we do not charge for tickets but ask that you bring along a cash donation. All profits from this extravaganza go directly to support village good causes, so by donating generously you directly help to make North Luffenham an even more brilliant village to live in than it already is.
Not long to go! Mark the date in your diary and we will see you at The Fox on 22nd December!

I thought it was about time for an update! The date for this years pantomime has now been finalised. This year the Pantomime will be staged on Sunday 22nd December at 6.00pm in the Grand North Luffenham Theatre, better known as The Car Park at The Fox’ as in previous years. Please make a note of this in your diaries. As ever, it promises to be an extravaganza of gargantuan proportions. As in previous years the show is a “turn up and enjoy” event. There are no tickets on sale but as always we will be raising money for good causes within the village so please bring plenty of cash along with you on the night.
The cast have met twice now and I can promise you that, as always, we have hunted high and low to select only the very best of the nations thespianic community to star in this years production. It ceases to amaze me just where we find this talent each year. Some of the cast have actually threatened to learn their lines this year!!
So what better way to kick of the Christmas season that to spend the Sunday before Christmas immersed in some of the best theatre you will see this year.
See you there!!

The Local Plan sets out planning policies for the Rutland area, as well as listing sites for additional housing, employment and other development, up to the year 2041.
Your chance to comment on Regulation 19 is from the now until the 2nd of December.
The Local Plan has already been through multiple stages of development, the Regulation 19 consultation does not ask for views on alternative options. Instead, it offers a final chance to comment on whether the Plan is legally compliant and ‘sound’
Could you help out on bonfire night by collecting donations in a bucket. Bonfire night is a big event for the parish and the bucket collection funds the costs involved. You don’t have to bring your own bucket, you will be pleased to hear, and a high viz jacket is provided.
If interested please contact Malcolm malcolmforbes@northluffenham.org.uk
Preparations are well underway for the North Luffenham Bonfire Night, to be held as usual on 5th November (weather depending)
Bonfire will be lit at 6pm, with the fireworks starting at 6:30pm approximately
Entry will be free, as always, but please bring cash for donations. The fireworks are funded entirely by the bucket collection, and so the more you give, the brighter the display next year!
Could you offer a safe, loving home to one of Rutland’s children?
Could you be the lifelong difference for one of Rutland’s children?
Maybe you could offer a weekend home once a month for one of Rutland’s children as a Short Breaks Carer?…

Yes, it’s happening again. Despite several efforts by the theatrical world to prevent another thespianic travesty in North Luffenham again this year I am pleased to announce that all attempts have failed and there will be another theatrical extravaganza staged in December!
As in previous years we are looking for people who would like to take part in this drama. As you will all have evidenced from previous productions, little or no skill is required to participate!! We would love to have some new faces appear this year as several of our regulars have now got prior commitments this year with the Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Ballet and the English National Opera, such has been the recognition of their skills in the past!! ( Believe that and you just might believe the storyline this year!!)
If you would like to get involved we are holding a first meeting to reveal this years play and generally re-write the whole thing! on Thursday 24th October at 7.00pm in The Fox. It would be lovely to see you there so please come along and find out all about your hidden theatrical leanings!
See you there!
Simon
