OLD SODBURY VILLAGE DAY UPDATE: CHANGE OF LOCATION

Due to high winds and risk of thunder storms, Old Sodbury Village Day will be relocating to Old Sodbury Village Hall. Parking will remain at Sugar Orchard Field (home of Old Sodbury FC).

Unfortunately this has also meant some activities have been scaled back, but all entertainment will continue as planned (live music, singing and dancing), along with all our food partners (Old Sodbury Lamb, Pizzas, tea and cakes plus a licensed bar). We hope to see you Saturday!
