If you enjoy walking, why not join us on Saturday, 7th September on a Parish walk of about 8 miles and lots of stiles through beautiful countryside visiting some of our local churches: St Michaels in Markfield, St Marys’ in Stanton, the Quiet Garden at the site of Holy Rood, Bagworth, Cross Hills Baptist Church and St Peter’s in Thornton.

The walk starts at the Lych-gate at St Peter’s Church in Thornton (LE67 1AA) and heads to Markfield following the Leicestershire Round through Brown’s Wood.  From here our path takes us to Stanton, and then onto Bagworth, and finally back to Thornton through the new woodlands.

We will leave Thornton at 11 am.  You will need to bring drinks and a packed lunch.  Footwear suitable for walking is necessary.

If you would like more information or you would like to take part,  please contact William & Shirley on 01530 230422. 

Last minute tickets are still available for this comedy play – Caught in the Act – at the Community Centre from 8th -11th May. Get your tickets from the shop or by phoning 01530 469714. If you have not been to one of these productions before, they are brilliant – and a bargain at just £5!

Whatever age you are, why not make an Easter Garden for the display in Thornton’s St. Peter’s church next weekend. And what a great way to keep the children busy!

All under 16’s who have made a garden will receive a small Easter Egg to say “thank you” for taking part. “What’s this all about” you may ask? Well; it will be similar to the Christmas Tree Festival except we are requesting portable, home-made miniature gardens to be brought to St. Peter’s church to help us all celebrate the Easter season. The church will be open to receive your garden on Friday 26th April between 3pm & 6.30pm and also Saturday 27th April between 10am and 12 noon. “When can the Gardens be viewed?” The church will be open for the All Age Service at 10.30am on Sunday 28th April, please do come along and see what we’re all about. The church will also be open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 27th and 28th April, from 2pm – 5pm. Entry is free and refreshments will be available to buy. “How could I make my own miniature Easter Garden?” .
