The Social Heart

A very active community spirit.


The Friday Afternoon Cafe at the Memorial Hall is the social anchor of the village. It is home to the Bridge and Scrabble clubs, and the Church and WI members take great pleasure in stuffing visitors with cake, tea, and biscuits for a small donation if you can. Don't forget the Monthly Saturday Pop-in - the place to be for legendary bacon butties!

Something is always going on in the village, including open gardens, scarecrow trails, craft fairs, photgraphy competitions and all sorts of fundraising events.
