Delayed because of the extraordinary heat in July, our Fun Dog Show is now happening on 5th September, sharing the stage with the Friends of Wetheringsett C of E Primary School and their Lazy Car Boot Sale!

With a special guest, certain to be a hit with the youngsters amongst us, Lightning McQueen!

Refreshments to include tea & coffee, soft drinks, bacon sandwiches and home bakes will be available too.

Pop the date on your calendar and let your friends and family know about it, especially those with appropriate four legged friends, lol.

It’s Landed!

The Village Hall Committee is thinking of launching the Wetheringsett Windfall—a monthly village lottery!

You pay £5 a month via Standing Order. 50% goes to a ‘Cash Windfall’ prize pot, and 50% goes to our Village Hall.

If we get 100 people, we’d be giving away £250 every month!

Before we pay the license fee, we want to know, would you be in? Please comment on this post to show your interest.

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Charity No Comments

According to Macmillan’s website, “Coffee Mornings are a great way to bring people together for a slice of something nice. You can host your event on any day that suits you!“

Well, we (Hilary and Sue) are holding ours on Saturday, 11th October 2025 at the Village Hall and you are all invited! Doors will open from 9.30 am and stay open until 12 Noon. We will be serving the usual tea, coffee, cakes and bacon sandwiches!

If anyone is able to bake (or buy) some cakes or scones to contribute to the event that would be great. Please bring them to the Hall around 9 am on the day!

Please let your friends and neighbours know and hopefully you will be able to come along and spend some time with us, raising much needed funds.

Donations from thousands of Coffee Mornings, big and small, help raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond.
