December 2023 Update:
Just a quick update to tickle your musical fancy... on the 30th December the superb band Mafia are back to do the New Years Eve Eve! If you can't or don't want to be part of the New Year's Eve shenanigans, come and do it a day early with us. Kids and non-members more than welcome (although we will press you into joining of course).
Food Service - Breaking News - Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are going to be closing the kitchen with immediate effect so there will be no food service available from the 1st of December 23. We'll be sure to provide an update when the situation changes so please keep an eye on this space.
Worthies Craft and Makers Market
Exciting News...
After the success of our last event on the 19th November, we're thrilled to announce another Christmas Craft Fair on the 10th December. This is yet another great opportunity to come along and support local crafters and makers and we look forward to seeing you there.
Please note that we are gratefully accepting donations for the raffle and tombola so if you have anything you'd like to donate it will help add to the excitement of the occasion.
The fair will be open from 11am until 3pm and will include loads of local craft stalls, children's games, face painting, a large Christmas raffle, tombola, guess the number of sweets in the jar, lots of fun for all and... live music provided by Chris from the band Runaway Train!
As well as all this we have free parking, tea/coffee, breakfast comestibles and a full bar which will be open from 12 noon.
