Events needed for the website

Hello everybody, we have recently made the decision to stop showing all events on the website unless we know they are running (due to the current situation, many are not, and it is causing confusion).  Therefore, if you know of an event running (whether in-person or online) that is in (or very near) the village, please do let me know and I will add them asap.

Also, if there are any special events you have planned, whether big or small, please do feel free to share the details, and we can try to help advertise them via the village website for you.

All the best,
Dan
(Village Website Volunteer)
