Tea will be served from the Village Hall accompanied by a playlist of music, including the National Anthem and some of the Queen’s favourites tunes. Please note that Main Street will be closed to traffic between East Lane and Church Lane that afternoon (precise details to follow)
‘BAKE A CAKE/PUDDING FOR THE QUEEN’ COMPETITION
Grab your whisk, get out your scales and get baking. Your pudding should be joyful and celebratory, taste good, be made with passion and pride and be ‘fit for a Queen’!
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. Entries should be delivered to the Village Hall by 5:00pm on Saturday 4 June and include your name and contact details in a sealed envelope.
We hope to serve and share the entries as ‘deserts’ at the end of the Street Party

In Ridlington, we shall be planting a Horse Chestnut sapling grown from a playing field conker by Richard and Debra Thatcher on the Playing Field on Sunday 5 June. If you could offer to help with planting please let us know.
