You have heard of the Angel of the North. Have you noticed the Post in the East on the Community Playing Field? This is the beginning of what will be our very own Beacon. We will be celebrating along with others up and down the length and breadth of the United Kingdom.

Those of us of the Community Council are pleased to invite you all to these free fun events. The day starts with a free Tea party in the Village Hall. From 2 – 4 pm this is a fun-filled afternoon for the young and young at heart. Open to children up to 12 years of age and Senior Citizens.

The evening is a chance to dance the night away to the Lee Vasey Band. Stuff your faces with Hog Roast, Pizzas, or Vegan Food. Please note this is a free event open to all, but there is a small charge for food on the night. Pre-book for the best prices.

In 1897, beacons were lit to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
In 1977, 2002 and 2012, beacons commemorated the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees of The Queen, and in 2016 Her Majesty’s 90th birthday.
You can toast Her Majesty with our Licenced Bar on the evening. That is in addition to the Hog Roast, Pizza, and Vegan Option of Food.
