Saturday 13th Sept will be a day of great action. Firstly, a Car Treasure Hunt will take place from the early afternoon.
Car Treasure Hunt This is an event where teams travel in their car around the parish to answer question specific to the area (some easy, some very hard!). For safety reasons, it is not a timed event. The team with the most correct answers will be crowned the carbon-emitting champions of 2025! This event is planned to be approx 90-120min in duration for each carload! Contestants may start from Bartlemy Hall at any time between 11am and 2pm, with the course closing at 4pm sharp.
Live Music with 'THE ZODIACS' That evening, Saturday 13th Sept, will see the incredible 'The Zodiacs' take to the stage. Following their village-rocking performance last year, they will be back with their vast array of showband classics and old-time waltzes. There will be a support act or two on the night to get the crowd prepped. The hall will be hopping and the jiving will be thriving! At this event, patrons are asked to BYOD (Bring your own drinks). Tea/Coffee refreshments will be served.
