“When the weather is fine you know it’s the time
For messing about on the river
If you take my advice there’s nothing so nice
As messing about on the river.”

Join us on Saturday at The Hall on 16th August for a Giles Shenton open-air Performance of “Three Men In A Boat”, adapted from the classic book by Jerome K. Jerome.

Giles Shenton expertly takes the helm and pilots you through the ridiculous and hilarious tale of men (and a dog!) behaving badly while messing about in boats on the Thames…

Weather permitting, the show will take place outside making the most of our lovely setting and some good August weather (fingers crossed, but indoors if wet).

Arrive from 5:00pm, show starts 6:00pm, finish approx 8:00pm.

The Hall Bar will be open from 5:00 pm and during the interval, for drinks, coffees and ice-cream as well as post-show to extend the evening.

  • Seating Section Tickets £15.00 / £8.00 u-16
  • Picnic Section (BYO blanket/seat) £12.00 / £6.00 u-16 / £30.00 family ticket for 4 (max 2 adults)

Get your tickets direct from The Hall at info@thehallevents.org.uk / 07775 765572 or from the online Box Office

What a Fantastic Show! Big Thanks to Everyone Involved

This year’s Cherington and Stourton Show was one of the best ever!

See message of thanks below from Lois Dudfield, co-chair of the Cherington and Stourton Show Committee:

‘We would like to thank each & everyone one of you who attended, members of the public, setting up & breaking down helpers, poster & flyer deliverers, stall holders, class entrants & most of all The Cherington & Stourton Show team, without this fabulous group of people the show would simply not take place, the effort that goes on behind the scenes each year is incredible.

Please do keep an ear out for our AGM date, as your feedback is crucial & we also love to hear what you think.

For now, thank you again, until next year – Over & Out’.

Farmers’ market Cancelled

August Farmers’ Market Cancelled: Next Date September 4th

Safari Supper 2025 – Thank you!

A Big Thank You to everyone who attended the village Safari Supper last Saturday.

We had a great time dodging the showers to get to our respective hosts where we were greeted with warm welcomes and delicious food!

Particular thanks go to all our hosts and pudding providers – the event couldn’t go ahead without you, and to our lovely local, The Cherington, for looking after us at the end of the evening.

Best of all we raised £771 for The Hall and Playing Field funds.

Thanks again …. And hopefully see you all again next year!

Sally, Sue and Di
