It may not seem like it today, but summer is here and it’s time to think about the annual Village Tennis Tournament.
The tournament will be played on various courts around the village during the morning, followed by a pot-luck lunch at Featherbed Barn (thank you Alan and Andrew).
All standards are welcome. The only restriction is that you must live, or have lived, in Cherington, Stourton or Sutton-under-Brailes.
Everyone will play four or five sets around the three villages with and against as many people as possible.
If you would like to play, or want more information, please contact Sally Clubley on sallyclubley@gmail.com or 07989 330729.
‘Many thanks indeed to the Stourton and Cherington folk who have visited my pop-up gallery at Jacques Barn last week, giving us such positive feedback and buying pieces to take home and love – or to give away as gifts.
There are still four days to see new artworks created by regional artists in many media. And Jacques Barn offers a cool refuge from the heat.
IWe’re just along the lane from The Cherington pub (for which we have 20% off vouchers, while stocks last!)
We’re open again from 10am to 5pm today (Thursday) till Sunday (inclusive) and all details are shown here – plus a small selection of unique-to-us available artworks to tempt you.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came to The Hall’s Coffee Morning on Saturday, 9th May, which we ran as a fundraiser for Shipston Home Nursing, as part of their weekend of plant sales.
We had a lovely, busy morning, and across our stalls, coffees, cakes and plants, we raised an amazing £624.52 for SHN!!
Incredible!
A HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers who helped on 9th May, and those who donated, and always to those who help at Coffee Shop every month.
We hope to welcome many people to our next Coffee Shop, Saturday 13th June!
