Today Rose’s were giving away 100 gorgeous cupcakes, I was having tea and biscuits at the church while other people were “hanging around” doing street calisthenics at Millenium Green and even more were having a family fun day at the STMA – such a success that it overran out onto the field!

Yes indeed here we are day one of the 2022 Community Festival – with already a good turnout for the Health Watch stall in our Market Square. I am looking forward to the Craft Fair at the STMA this evening at 6.00 pm – a new fair from River Dream events who also bring you the Garage Sale Trail on Sunday.

In the meantime enjoy the Scarecrow Festival and do have Theatre Fun at the Methodist Church from 4.00pm today – then tomorrow don’t forget to join me at Digswell field for a free Tai Chi beginners class at 9.30 after you have collected your cupcake from Rose’s at Duck Lane – remember your “Shefford 100” voucher from LivingLife!

“Unfortunately due to operational demand (all our vehicles have been booked out this weekend ) we can only showcase on the 24th and 25^th, so we won’t be doing anything this weekend. Please accept our apologies”

We look forward to their demo the following week.

We always look forward to a bit of tasty street food from the guys at EATfeast when they visit Pamoli Square behind the library. I always have difficulty choosing what to have so end up taking my time to scope out all the stalls and chat to fellow “foodies”.  Saturday afternoon on the 24th from about 4.00pm is the time to be there so I hope you all enjoy what is on offer.

10.30 -2.30  on Saturday 24th there is a Church Trail visiting all four churches – Catholic, St Michael’s, Methodist and Baptist Churches and completing a quiz. Find out more about the Churches in Shefford by visiting each one. You can start at any one and visit them in any order. Quiz sheets are available at each church. Contact Sue Fields, 01462 814169.

What a busy day we have to look forward to this coming Saturday with Street Calisthenics at the Hub Millenium Green, Church tea/coffee at St Michaels Church and Tai Chi at Digswell netx to the STMA – oh and don’t forget the Scarecrow Festival all   around town!
