We are seven days away from the Family Fun Day at the recreation ground – Friday 3rd June from 12 noon to 6pm.
The day is being held as part of the Village’s celebration of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The sports clubs and others have been working hard to put on a good day for all those wanting to come down and enjoy the hopefully good weather.

The recreation ground can be accessed from the public footpath to the rear of Applegarth Vale and the Waggoners Estate, and from the village. The car park at the recreation ground will be for those setting up or running the activities.
