This year’s Flower Festival at Peasmarsh church will take place from May 25 - 27. As the Bank Holiday has been moved to the Jubilee weekend, the church will be open from mid day Friday to Sunday instead of Saturday to Monday. All village groups are asked to get involved and help to make the church even more beautiful and to raise money towards its repair and maintenance.

A reminder about the Rye Race which takes place on Sunday May 27 - if you can help please contact Martin and Cathy Burke on 230009 or David and Hilary on 230205.
