It has been a rather strange two years, with restrictions on a lot of our usual activities and many people have missed the social interactions that are usually part of their everyday life. North Luffenham is a lovely village, with a lot of history and having village events & clubs enables us to develop a sense of community and friendship.
Please come along to our village ‘get together’ and make new friends, meet old friends, all while enjoying delicious homemade cakes & biscuits! There will also be coffee, tea and a variety of fruit & herbal teas available. The room is well ventilated and sanitiser will be available.
There is no entry charge for this event but cash donations will be given to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal.
For anyone needing assistance, help is available to get to the community centre.

The purple dots on the map below show which lucky residents now have availability for a full fibre connection.
