This weekend there are lots of local events to choose from & if you plan carefully you can do everything.
Thursday to Wednesday – Tissington Well Dressings – Food is served at The Stables and certainly over the weekend lunches and Teas are also in the Village Hall (I speak from experience when I say that these cakes are good).
Thursday to Monday – 10am-4pm – Bradbourne flower festival & ‘affordable art’ show with refreshments provided. The artists include national & local people. Our own Ruby Hickmott, will be showing some specialist pieces and more of her artwork can be seen at the end of the month in Parwich as part of DART. The flowers in the church I am sure will be impressive, it is rumoured that the men are also having a go. The event is to help raise funds to replace All Saints’ chancel roof. So come along, enjoy a great day out, visit this delightful Saxon church, remember to admire the views towards Parwich & you may pick up an art bargin – the next Damien Hirst!
Sunday – 3.30 – Parwich Methodist Chapel – Everyone is invited to the final service with refreshments being served afterwards. All future services will be held in Parwich Church.
Bank Holiday Monday – Tea & Cakes at Alsop Church – 11am – 4pm. The cakes last month were delicious, looking forward to sampling again.

Kevin and I went to the flower festival/affordable art fair in Bradbourne Church this afternoon. As well as the splendid displays themselves, it was a real treat for us to see inside the church itself for the first time. What a beautiful place it is!
Well worth a visit, and well worth the £2 entrance fee (which gets you a cup of tea into the bargain).
And a piece of cake!
Which one would you recommend?
