A provider is available to all eligible residents of Leicestershire, (not city or Rutland).

The idea is to help vulnerable people living in rural villages access their vaccination offer conveniently.

All they have to do is call the provider – 01530 512456 – the number is operational Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm – and the provider will proactively check the person’s eligibility, book them into a clinic and will arrange to pick them up from their home, transport them to the clinic / wait for them / run them home.

All at no cost to the individual.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 11th October 2 to 4 pm

This special week is represented by its logo; up and down the country there is opportunity for those who have experienced loss to place a ribbon to remember their babies.  

RIBBON DISPLAYS will be at the Lychgate at St Peter’s Church, Thornton and at the Main gate at St Mary’s Church Stanton.  Ribbons are provided free of charge.

Fancy an evening out in the Village? Come & support the Markfield & Thornton Theatre Group by watching our latest play this September… ‘GHOST WRITER’.

After the success of ‘Going Green’ we’re staging another David Tristram comedy! ‘Ghost Writer’ is a funny, haunting, farcical whodunit guaranteed to entertain.

SYNOPSIS:- A year ago, a London theatre company staged a production of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” – At the last-night party was one Edward Pinfold, a promising playwright, and husband of the talented but tempestuous actress, Ruby, who had played Ophelia. Tragically, that very night, Ruby – a renowned reveller with a reputation for burning the candle at all three ends – was found dead in bed. The theatre world went into a state of mourning that barely lasted into the afternoon. One year later, however, Edward remains deeply affected. In the attic room of his friend’s house, where he has sought sanctuary, his typewriter stands neglected. It is the first anniversary of Ruby’s death… and a series of strange events is about to unfold.

We really value your support and couldn’t carry on without you! Everyone works so hard to bring these plays to the village and we can’t wait to share the production with you.

“GHOST WRITER” is to be staged at THORNTON COMMUNITY CENTRE from Wednesday 27th to Saturday 30th September at 7:30PM nightly. Tickets are priced at £6 and are available from on 07438 508166 or by contacting mttg.theatre@gmail.com.

Why not start/finish the evening with a visit to one of our local establishments, with food available at Bricklayers Arms Thornton.

Thank you to everyone in the community for helping with our sets.

If anyone wants to get involved in the group, acting or behind the scenes we would love to have you, feel free to drop us a message!
