We are sorry to say that the organisers will not be able to bring Eat feast to Shefford on Saturday. They had traders booked who have all pulled out and despite efforts to find others, nobody is available at this late stage.

The organiser explained: “We are very sorry as we were looking forward to it but the circumstances are beyond our control.”

So maybe we will see them another month.

We are looking forward to some more Theatre Fun on Thursday from 4.00 – 5.00pm for 4-5 year olds  and then on Friday from 4.00 to 7.00pm for 6-16 year olds with Madhatters run by Hollie Milburn – a great chance to experience the world of Dance, Acting and Singing – become a Tripple Threat in musical theatre.  Sessions are free so what’s to lose –  we hope people go and have fun with friends!

Madhatters

With tremendous numbers of stalls and scarecrows it was quite a days outing if you wanted to get round them all – I walked much of the town to get the following pictures and certainly met one guy who was cycling round every one! I also saw many families who were exploring Shefford together. Many cupcakes were claimed and the feedback was lovely – we are glad that it gave that much pleasure to the children who persuaded mums and dadTeapartys to take them to RStall twoose’s.Stall threeStall one

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!

Day ONE – yay!

CupcakeYes 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!

eatfeast at the Shefford Community FestivalWe 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.
