Alderton Christmas Trail took place on Sunday 26th November, when Father Christmas was on hand to switch on the village Christmas lights and Captain our Shetland pony ‘reindeer’ led everyone around the village to view them. Delicious refreshments were served, both at The Old Barn and in St. Margaret’s Church and there was carol singing, plus goodies for sale and competitions, including a raffle. A lovely time was had by all and £ 389.95 raised for church funds
A lovely traditional Harvest Festival service in church this morning and the sale of produce raised £121.20 for the charity Send a Cow.
Another successful Art Festival again this year over the weekend of 2nd/3rd September, with a very happy atmosphere. Beautiful weather on the Saturday brought in lots of visitors; quieter on Sunday but still a steady stream. A fabulous exhibition of paintings, with David Wells’ Black Cat winning the People’s Choice award and many pictures sold. Lovely music courtesy of Holly~Alice. An amazing BBQ and the usual fabulous selection of cakes. Lots going on in the churchyard with a grand prize draw, white elephant, book and home produce stalls and a great selection of crafters. All that and it raised in the region of £4000.00 for church funds too. Many thanks to all who helped in any way and to all our visitors. Roll on next year!
Finally, after over a year of wrangling with South Northants Council about the size, position and materials, our new noticeboard is in situ.
