It’s a great chance to get some unusual gifts for Christmas, or even just to treat yourself!

Plant Sale Clearance @ The Fox until Wednesday

North Luffenham Garden Club enjoyed a busy Plant Sale yesterday but we have some surplus stock of tomato & veg plants, houseplants and even some perennials from the borders of Burghley House 😉

So do drop by, have a look and pick up some real bargains – ignore the price tickets, just leave a donation in the red pillar box under the Pagoda.
Everything must go by Wednesday so tell your friends & family… and afterwards enjoy some cooling refreshment at the bar of your host Jason!

It’s certainly not too late to plant those tomatoes…

Block Printing Workshop with Sue @ Springboard Arts

Coming up on Sunday 16th June is the ever popular block printing on to fabric.

You will be able to make your own block, as well as having access to a collection of Indian woodblocks, to print onto either a tote bag or a tea towel.

Contact Sue for details/book your place in her Studio in North Luffenham.

Chater Community Choir – Our Final Concert – this Friday 26th April @7.30pm, South Luffenham Church

After 12 years of leading our favourite choir, Tracy is retiring as Director of the CCC.
This being the last concert, we are encouraging everyone who has been involved past and present to support this final fund raiser – over £25,000 has been accumulated for local & national Charities over the years.
Tickets only £10, available on the door on the night – hopefully see you there 😊
