Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment
At The Wootton Courtenay  Village Hall
Entrance £1 for adults, free for children.
We have a wide variety of stalls at the Wootton Courtenay Tabletop Sale on Saturday, 31st May in the village hall (10.30am to 4pm), in aid of All Saints’ church roof. I thought I’d give you a sneak peek into who you can look out for on Saturday:
Marion Jay of Crockford Plants will be selling a wide variety of plants. Her tables will be in the centre of the hall.
Jamie and Lisa Waters will be representing Shelduck Photography with their beautiful photographs and photographic products.
Nicole Stewart of Amour Heart Gifts is your one-stop shop for beautiful heart themed gifts, cards, stationery and home decor.
Ro Hoyte will be selling her original artwork in the far corner by the stage. Seek her out.
Mark Oxtoby, one of our local photographers, will be selling his photographs and cards.
Veronica Clegg, another local artist, will be displaying and selling her artwork.
Paul and Nicky Scott will be generously selling plants from their ‘Dunkery Pleck’ garden, in aid of the church roof appeal.
Ingrid Popplewell has had a clear out will be selling household goods.
Maggie Robertson has also had a clear out and will be selling household goods too.
Wootton Courtenay’s very own silversmith, Brian O’Hara, will be selling silver and metal ornaments and jewellery.
The Minehead branch of the Guide Dogs for the Blind will be there and so will Heidrun Humphries with ‘Hoglets Hedgehog Rescue’.
There will be a small selection of homemade cakes on sale and an instant raffle (because I can’t bear the wait) with some great prizes to raise funds for the church.
And, all the way from West Wales, we are pleased to host ‘Cardigan Curiosities’ with their unique blend of antiques, vintage items and homeware – your one-stop treasure shop!
Delicious refreshments will be available (click HERE to see the menu) and will be available to purchase all day.
See you there!

Published on by stpetrock1Leave a comment

In case it isn’t in your diary, please don’t forget to come along to the Church Field on Saturday for a church and village patronal festival celebration – we have a BBQ with delicious meat and vegetarian options, a licensed bar, live music from Minnie Hates the Hoover, a tombola, raffle and childrens’ entertainments. This is from 12 noon until 3pm. The weather looks to be dry and with your support, this will be a wonderful afternoon for us all.

Then at 4pm we have a Choral Evensong in St Petrock’s when a professional quartet will sing choral music performed to a high standard, so do join us and enjoy superlative singing in a historic village setting. This is absolutely free of charge and open to all to experience Evensong which has been a tradition in our churches for almost 500 years. Free refreshments are provided after Evensong.

We look forward to seeing you there – Marion and Kate
