Bonfire Night Tuesday 5th November

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!

Have you ever considered fostering?

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?…

There are no age limits if you are over 21.

Please get in touch with us to learn more about Fostering for Rutland!

North Luffenham Pantomime 2024!

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!
