Our Ceilidh Dance was as usual a sell out and great fun was had by all and we raised over £2,322 for FOHC.
Two great successes -
70s 80s 90s DISCO
& the CHRISTMAS FAIR
A big thank you to everyone who came along the FOHC 70/80/90s disco. We are pleased to report that Punks, Mods, Hippies and Disco Divas managed to have a fabulous evening together.
Also, our thanks go to stallholders and shoppers who made the Christmas Fair at Micklefield Hall another success. Together these two events raised almost £7,000 which will go towards the new church heating project.
Established in 1992 and run by a dedicated team of Committee members and lots of volunteers from across the village, the Friends raises funds for the preservation, maintenance and restoration of our beautiful 13th century Parish Church. Projects over the years have included the new roof, rebuilding walls, new paths and internal and external decoration.
Our annual Flower Festival attracts over a thousand visitors and this year it will take place on 27 – 29 June with an opening Jazz night on Friday 27 June. Please be sure to make a note in your 2025 diary!
