The Harvest Festival Service will be held in Iden Church on Sunday 29 September at 9.30pm. This will be a family service. The congregation is asked to bring gifts in the form of tins or packets and not fresh vegetables or fruit as the donations will be going to Charities in Hastings and Rye who are helping social deprivation

The Harvest Supper this year will be held in the Village Hall on Saturday 5 October at 7.30pm It will be a traditional ploughman’s harvest supper to be followed by entertainments

Tickets are just £5 each available from Iden Stores. They will be limited so it is advisable to buy them early if you wish to go It is hoped that by returning to the Village Hall this will now enable more people to come.

Iden Fete was very successful again this year, thanks to our wonderful team of helpers, and we were very pleased to be able to donate £4,000, split equally between the Village Hall and Pavilion as usual.

There remained a smaller sum available for donation to worthy causes in Iden, and £300 has already been donated towards the Iden Seniors Christmas Lunch.
