Torrential rain on Saturday made setting up for the cream teas event that we were hosting in the garden on Sunday a stop start exercise. We were however blessed for the fourth year in a row with dry and, at times, sunny weather. A great team of volunteers baked, waitressed, plated up, sold raffle tickets, set out and cleared away such that we had another successful and well supported fundraising event.
Woodhurst Feast Week has been celebrated in the village for over 200 years. It takes place in the week around the 24th June which is the Feast Day for St John the Baptist, patron saint of Woodhurst church. Feast Week provides an opportunity for the village to get together and also to raise vital funds to help with the running costs of the Church and Village Hall. Each year our resident local historian, Shirley Firth, organises a church service centred around a village theme. The service was well attended this year to hear more about the pubs of the village, unfortunately all now closed!
