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!
