The second phase is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Further updates will be given as they become available.

Earth Day and St George Celebrated in Charity Wine Tasting:–

Saturday 21st April saw 17 of us get great enjoyment from the wines presented, Kate’s delicious buffet and the convivial company of friends and neighbours at the Village Hall.

Feedback was very positive, so perhaps next year we shall repeat.

Kate and I are delighted at the enjoyment shared and proud that including some generous donations the event contributed £144. 58 to the Mary Esther Hollway Memorial Trust funds for the benefit of the splendid refurbished Village Hall.

Stanhoe Open Gardens:–

Come and explore the gardens of Stanhoe! Nine gardens will be open in Stanhoe and Barwick on Saturday 2nd June, 2:00–5:30pm, including two NEW ones on Station Road and Parson’s Lane.

Entry £5 for ALL gardens, children under 12 free.

All are welcome to come and have a look around and enjoy the various stalls: tombola, cakes, plants, books and bric a brac. Pen Roche’s delicious cream teas will be served as usual, but this year at STANHOE HALL. In recent years the Open Gardens has attracted more than 200 visitors, many of whom comment on the friendly welcome they received in Stanhoe! This is made possible by the enthusiasm of volunteers who offer their time on the afternoon to help out on the stalls and serve tea. The stalls rely on the kind contributions of friends and neighbours, so if you are able to offer cakes, plants, books or bric-a-brac we would be very grateful!

Please call Felicity on 01485 518363 – we are happy to come and collect. Proceeds from the day go towards repair works to All Saints’ Church. Thank you!
