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 😊
Join the very popular speaker Joe Whitehead for an insider’s view of the gardens at Burghley House. Guaranteed to be an entertaining & engaging evening!
Last few tickets available from EW Village Shop…
Last few tickets still available to hear this amazing band locally

Last year the Parish Church was given a wonderful large wooden Christmas Tree made by Men & Women in Sheds, Rutland. This year we would like to start a Community Christmas Card Scheme for the residents of North Luffenham whilst raising funds for the Church & making our parishioners’ lives simpler.
To share festive greetings with your friends & neighbours in the village, please drop your Christmas card, along with your donation for the Church to Dove Cottage, 4 Church Street, North Luffenham before 22nd December (date of our Carol Service).
Your cards will be displayed on our unique wooden Christmas tree in the porch of the Church which will be specially lit for the occasion.
Thank you for joining in our new village ‘tradition’ 🎄

Our Rutland Men & Women in Sheds members lovingly craft wonderful wooden trees made to order and they have been a hit with many local business & residents for the last few years.
Made from repurposed pallet wood, they can be made in varying styles and sizes and are a great alternative to a real Christmas tree.
All proceeds from the sale of the trees directly benefit the Shed which provides a safe place for individual pursuits and community projects for local older people 
To order please email our Rutland Shed:- rutlandshed@ageukleics.org.uk
