This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WW2.

As part of our annual fundraising for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, we are organising a wreath making demonstration to take place in the Village  Hall. We have found a very talented lady locally who would love to share with you what you need in order to create a beautiful wreath or table piece for every occasion.

Please click on the link below to find out more about the event and let us know if you would be interested to join us on the day.

Unfortunately due to  insufficient interest the Village Hall Committee will not be going ahead with the Safari Supper planned for August 30th.

However,  the Curry Night on Saturday Oct 4th will be going ahead, delicious home cooked food and good company. So if you have not already done so, and would still like to enjoy some “Indian delights”, please let Pat Roome know on  telephone 01572 821416  or by email pat.roome@btinternet.com

Many Thanks

Save the Date!

We have decided to hold a Safari Supper on Saturday 30th August! Thank you to those of you who have offered to do a course or come along.

There are still plenty of places left, so come along for good company and delicious food. Finer details forthcoming.

Please contact Pat Roome on 01572 821416 or by email – pat.roome@btinternet.com if you wish to attend.

 

Some people have asked if there could be another Safari Supper. The Village Hall Trustees are happy to organise this for a summer event, but before we get into the finer details we need a minimum of 4 people to host the main course and a further 4 people to host the dessert course both catering for 6 guests. No starter course, but bubbly & nibbles in the village hall before moving off.

If you can host for a course please let Pat Roome know on 01572 821416

 

Our next Coffee Morning is at 10.30 – 12noon  –  Friday 23rd May

 

 

 

“Talking Gardens” invites you to ‘Ridlington Spring Gardens Safari’ on 31st May 2025.  This is a community event, not a fundraiser. Your £5.00 ticket will include entry to all the open gardens and refreshments.

2:00 pm START prompt please. Everyone will meet at ‘Hollygate House’ (Chris and Jo) where Prosecco and canapés will be served before exploring the gardens. From 4:30 pm onwards there will be tea, coffee, cream teas and cakes for all to enjoy – and the opportunity to talk about the beautiful gardens.

All attending will receive a ‘safari map’ to minimise the risk of individuals getting lost!  It’s a jungle out there…
Duration – 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Price per person £5.00
RSVP by 10th May 2025 to talking.gardens@btinternet.com  or let anyone of us know you will be coming.

Jackie and Shelagh will collect the monies from 17th May 2025

No dogs other than assistant dogs.
Regrettably none of the gardens are wheelchair friendly.
Other than at the start and end of the event there will be no refreshments available.
There will be no toilet facilities available at any of the open gardens.

We do hope you will join us for what should be a most enjoyable afternoon exploring some of Ridlington’s beautiful gardens.

Kindest regards,
Shelagh, Jackie and Jo
