Horticultural Society Annual Show | Saturday 9th September

This year’s Hort Soc Annual Show will take place in
the Village Hall on Sat 9th September and will be
open to the public from 2pm. Tea, coffee,
homemade cakes and chat will be available.
The showing of prize vegetables and flowers is,
and always has been, a very British pastime. So do
come long to support your fellow villagers and
help to continue a particularly local and historic
tradition.
Better still, why not indulge your competitive
streak and enter an exhibit? As well as Fruit, Veg
and Flowers, there are classes in cookery,
photography and crafts.

Forró Fest 2017 | Bank Holiday Weekend

Just a reminder that villagers are welcome to attend Forró Fest this afternoon free of charge…

After its spectacular success last year, the Brazilian dancing extravaganza that is Forró Fest is back at Bellingdon & Asheridge Village Hall and grounds over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Organiser Julia Samel was delighted with the welcome they received last year and would like to invite villagers to get involved once again: “This year we can offer a special Sunday afternoon free to all locals, from 12pm – 9pm:

Beginners Forró at 12pm, followed by Coco Afro class 2pm – 3pm, which is a very fun style of Brazilian community dance, plus they can stay on site until 9pm as we have plenty of outdoor fun for free including African dance and French folk music – Mazurka.

If they would like to stay for any evening with live music and dancing until late, the price would be £15 on the door.”

Anyone with questions is asked to contact Hugh Griffiths by email or phone on 07712 397122.
