Ridlington is going all St Mary Mead in September! In the midst of stunning whodunnit floral displays we will present a one act play entitled “Death at the Deanery.” Mystery and shenanigans and the usual troop of Agatha Christie characters will abound in the Deanery household. Will you, our brave audience, solve the puzzle before all is revealed?
More details to follow in next month’s magazine. So, watch this space and watch your step….!!

Anyone who reads the book reviews will know that I am fond of whodunits. Having been introduced to the works of Agatha Christie at the age of 11, I have been hooked for life!
To celebrate 100 years since the publication of Agatha Christie’s first novel and her great detectives Hercule Poirot, Jane Marple and the Beresfords (Tommy and Tuppence) we are staging a flower festival in September based on her works. Re-reading the novels has been one of my lock-down projects so I have plenty of ideas – if you would like to help please contact me.

I am happy to say that we can now continue with the rota.
