Hi everyone,
Step back in time in Thornbury this June...
Start by entering our new competition for the chance to win afternoon tea in the stunning Tudor surroundings of Thornbury Castle.
Continue your journey at Berkeley Castle's Brick History exhibition, where pivotal moments are recreated in LEGO brick form, before discovering the remarkable Acton Court, open throughout June for self-guided audio tours, workshops and events.
And if you could ask England's most infamous monarch one question over dinner... what would it be? Dine like royalty at Thornbury Castle's immersive Evening with King Henry VIII.
June's calendar is packed with live entertainment: Octopus Drama Group presents Murder at the Margate Majestica, an original comedy murder mystery, while music lovers can enjoy An Evening of Jazzzzz with vocalist and trumpeter Marvin Muoneke, and Songbirds Women's Choir return with their Summer Concerts - perfect for an evening picnic.
Festival season arrives in style: Thornbury Sailing Club's Regatta brings a welcoming community atmosphere by the water, Gracetonbury Festival promises entertainment and tasty treats in beautiful surroundings, while Rockhampton Festival brings a full day of live music and dancing in a relaxed family-friendly setting.
June also marks an important milestone as Thornbury hosts its first Love Thornbury Pride. The Crafters Destash makes a welcome return, this time at The Armstrong. If you haven't yet been inside, click here for a whistle-stop tour on their latest newsletter.
Elsewhere, you can honour servicemen and women who have lost their lives at Memorial Woodlands' Annual Service of Remembrance and explore the realities of climate change at a free screening of The People's Emergency Briefing in the Cossham Hall.
Looking for Father's Day inspiration? Thornbury's Golf Centre is serving up a breakfast buffet with a driving range session - or you could enjoy a bike ride together. Take your trusty two-wheeler to Dr Bike's health checks to stay safe through the summer.
Finally, wrap up June with another dip into the past at Acton Court's much-loved Tudor Jamboree.
Keep an eye on the MyThornbury events calendar and if you have an event to share, we'd love to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Claire
