Hi Everyone,
May is bursting with fun, flowers, and festivities across Thornbury – and we've gathered the very best for you to enjoy.
We have three fantastic competitions this month. Don't miss your chance to win a family ticket to Rockhampton Festival – a brilliant local celebration of music, food and fun. Love a good laugh? Enter our competition to win tickets to the comedy play "The Village Hall" – a hilarious take on village life... and take the opportunity to perk up your patio with a beautiful summer planter from Edith Wilmot Plants.
Join friends and neighbours to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day with Bank Holiday weekend celebrations at Berkeley Castle, Love Thornbury's Family Fun Day on Thornbury High Street and Christ the King's picnic and exhibition of memorabilia.
Spring is in full bloom and there are gardening events galore. Join Grace Care Centre's new gardening group, make a macrame plant hanger at Castle Crafts Gifts, raise money for Thornbury in Bloom at Love Thornbury's second Family Fun Day, help Edith Wilmot Plants celebrate their 130th anniversary and stock up on garden goodies at Thornbury in Bloom's annual sale.
Looking for ways to keep the kids (and grown-ups) happy during the half term break? History comes alive with Dinosaur Week at Old Down Country Park, the Knights' Tournament at Berkeley Castle and a taste of Tudor life at Acton Court, as well as free crafts at Thornbury Library. Parents exploring school options can also see Tockington Manor School in action on their Open Day.
For the full list of events and updates, keep an eye on the calendar... and if you have events to share with the community, don't hesitate to get in touch!
Wishing you a memorable May,
Claire
