August Bank Holiday Weekend 2022

Free outdoors concert and bring your own picnic!

Sunday 28th August, 3-5pm

We mark the bank holiday weekend and the end of the school summer holidays with another opportunity to enjoy that special combination of live music and food!This time we will enjoy music from 'Showpiece Brass' as we gather together on the church green.

You are welcome to bring a picnic, or you may like to buy tea and coffee or soft drinks, and perhaps treat yourself to a piece of cake from our stall.

As part of our effort to be more environmentally aware, you are encouraged to bring reusable cups and plates for your refreshments.

Chairs will be available, but you may prefer to bring your own garden chairs or a rug to sit on.

It will be a perfect opportunity to get together so please do ask your friends and neigbours to come along and join in the fun. No need to book. You can download the flyer here.

This is a free event for the whole community. However, we we welcome donations which will help us to cover the costs for this concert and make us able to offer other events in the future.
