Timberscombe Annual Village Show 2026

Our show is on 15^th August and the team has started preparations. Schedules will be available in due course and there is plenty of choice for all abilities. But in the meantime you can be thinking about the Photograph and Handicraft Sections.

The fiveTopics for the photo section are:- My Favourite Thing; Timberscombe Church inside or out [Black and White]; Made of Stone; On the Wing; Timberscombe 2026.

The set knitting/crochet project is a memory blanket for SANDs Charity. This charity supports bereaved families after baby loss and works to prevent future deaths through research, education, and advocacy. 

The pattern is available in the Post Office or can be found on the charity’s website, which is  Knit for Sands | Sands  http://www.sands.org.uk where you can find further information about their work.

We will let you know the Limerick line soon.
