Walk: There will be a walk from the village car park (surgery) to Bodiam Castle on Sunday, leaving at 2.30pm. Everyone is very welcome – families from Messy Church will be taking part as well as adults, so there should be someone to match your walking speed! There will be a picnic at the castle at about 4pm, and cars will have been strategically positioned to whisk drivers back to Northiam to be able to relay folks home.
