Northiam Village Voice

It’s the pop-up pub again this weekend! The Yard of Ale will be open in the hub at St Francis Fields on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 5-9pm. All very welcome – and just like a good old-fashioned pub, there’s usually someone good to talk to. A great village institution!

Each Friday evening there is Sequence Dance in the Village Hall at 7pm, and Adult Badminton in Pretious Hall at 7.30pm.

Bowls Club have an Open Session every Monday from 4.30pm, when anyone who is interested is welcome to pop in and have a go. The Budgerigar Society meets in the Jenkins Room at 7.30pm.

Toddlers meet in Pretious Hall on Tuesday mornings 9-11am, and this week it’s all about Mini Beasts. Any questions, call the school – 252141, or pop in. Over 60s are in the Village Hall at 2pm, Talking Teacups with Michaela.

Thursday Seniors meet in the Village Hall each Thursday from 10am, and are always ready to welcome new faces. Call Denise 01797 252704 to book your place or arrange a visit. The NatWest mobile bank is available in the car park 2.45-3.30pm and the Library is open 2-4pm each Thursday and Saturday.

Next Saturday, 21st June, the village will decamp to the Playing Fields for the Bonfire Society’s Midsummer Festival. There’s something for everyone, with the popular Dog Show, extensive Classic Vehicle display, live music from The Chandeliers, local beers, local food, crafts, village society stalls, fun in Kids’ Corner and a relaxing mellow vibe – just hoping for good weather!

Tickets are selling very well for the next big village event – Music in the Summer Meadow on Saturday 2nd August. It’s a fantastic evening with the chance to picnic, chat, dance – whatever rocks your boat – in the beautiful surroundings of Westwell. Tickets from the Conservation Society or WestwellGarden.com. Almost forgot – the live music is from the amazing Sugar Kings, bringing the rhythm of Cuba to the heart of Northiam. See you there!
