A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Murder Mystery evening last Friday — it was a complete sell out!

Guests enjoyed some delicious fish and chips from Chunky fish and chips before being transported back to a quaint village in the 1920s, where a murder took place during a village cricket match. Tables became detectives for the evening, interviewing suspects and trying to uncover the murderer, the motive, and the weapon.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, no teams managed to solve the mystery… and the murderer got away with it!

A very special thank you goes to Miscellany Amateur Dramatics Group for giving up their time and delivering such a fun and entertaining evening. We’d also like to thank all of our volunteers who helped make the night possible.

Thank you again to everyone who came along and supported the event — we hope you had as much fun as we did!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday for our Community Barn Dance! 🤠🎶

Whilst we definitely wouldn’t have been awarded any “10s” on Strictly, it was such a fun evening and I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! 💃🕺

The band, the amazing Turk Town Troopers kept the energy going all night, and Sarah the caller did a fantastic job of mostly keeping us all in line! 😂

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant community evening. We’re already looking forward to the next one! ❤️
