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!

Safari Supper Saturday 19th July – Reminder

There is still time to book up for the Cherington and Stourton Safari Supper!

This year’s Safari Supper, which is on Saturday July 19th at 7pm, is a great way to meet new neighbours and catch up with those you already know.

If you would like to volunteer to host either a starter or main course for between 4 to 6 guests, or donate a pudding that would be great. But it is perfectly ok if you would just like to come along and join in the fun.

Please let us know by replying to one of the email addresses below also stating any dietary requirements. For hosts, remember it’s about the people not the cooking – a simple meal is all that’s required and main course hosts get one free ticket

The evening will kick off at 7pm, at Jacques Barn, Stourton with an aperitif to get you in the mood! You will then be told where you are going for your starter.

Starter hosts are given the list of where their guests are going for their main course. You will be with entirely different people.

It’s excellent value at £20 per head and the money we raise helps to fund our our fabulous Hall and Playing Field.

NB Guests are requested to bring their own wine.

Please contact Sally sallyclubley@gmail.com or Sue sueeileenmaaz@gmail.com by July 13th to register your interest, stating whether you are offering to host a starter or main course, supplying a pudding or just participating, and any dietary requirements.

We look forward to enjoying a fun night with you all!

Safari Supper 2024 – what a night!

Great Night had by all at 2024 Safari Supper

It was the perfect evening with warm sunshine and fragrant summer air for the return of the popular Safari Supper.

46 villagers came to together to enjoy a sociable evening sharing starter and main course meals at various hosts’ houses. The pudding course at our lovely local pub, The Cherington, capped off a really excellent evening.

Thanks so much to everyone who came along to make this such a successful event. Particular thanks go to the hosts and the pudding providers. We couldn’t have done it without you.

We learnt recently that this is the 25th anniversary of the first safari supper which was held in May 1999. We’d like to take credit for this being the silver anniversary but it’s just good luck!

The best news is that we made £754 for the Hall which is a great effort.

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