Welcome back to the weekly village blog! We have a packed week ahead with some critical deadlines to keep our lovely village running smoothly. Full details in What’s On link to our community website.

🏃‍♂️ Tuesday: The Grand Trim Trail Launch! (Plus Ice Cream!)

The wait is officially over for the kids! This Tuesday, we are cutting the ribbon on our brand-new village Trim Trail. It’s custom-built to let the children climb, balance, and burn off all that boundless energy.

To celebrate the launch in style, we have a very important guest arriving at 3:00 PM sharp: the Ice Cream Van! 🍦

Whether you’re celebrating making it across the balance beams or just cheering from the sidelines, make sure you swing by for a flake 99. See you on the village green!

🎤 Friday: Mamma Mia! Night at the Village Hall

Here we go again! Dust off your flares, warm up those vocal cords, and get ready for the ultimate feel-good night. This Friday, the Village Hall is transforming into a Greek island idyll for our massive Mamma Mia! event.

• Doors Open: 7:30 PM
• What to expect: Great music, incredible company, and plenty of dancing. Singing along is not just allowed—it is highly encouraged!
