🎃 Has everyone got their pumpkins yet?

As we were fortunate enough to be sponsored for our half term fun we wanted to support local business to get our pumpkin. So two of our Little Villagers went off to Rougham Estate, Blackthorpe Barn this morning. They have chosen a lovely orange pumpkin and some gourds for the kids to decorate and explore at our Halloween party. We’ll then display it on Halloween night at our ‘Trick or Treat’ table on Bunbury Road.

Tickets for the Halloween Party have sold out but we still have spaces at our Autumn Crafts session on Tuesday so book on and come have some creative fun!

Have you heard of Olio? It’s a free app to help you save money and reduce waste! Find free food from local shops, see what your neighbours are sharing for free, and selling.

At a time where cost of living just keeps going up it’s handy to have apps like this. Feel free to add any other ‘free’ apps or groups or organisations you’re aware of ⬇️

Conversations between the codirectors and social media lead are always interesting … this is why I (Becka) do the social media and not the craft activities 😆

This was us discussing Helen showing how to crochet at Wednesdays Tea and Talk…

☕️ October Tea and Talk - we enjoyed a biscuit or two whilst doing some crafts and Helen teaching how to crochet. It’s nice to just relax in a safe space, have a chat and get out the house for a couple of house. Feel free to come join our November session 18th November.

Want to get the kids outside this half term? Marham Park Community - Events & Local Life is looking for volunteers in the Marham Park woodlands 🌳

Looking for something a little different to do with the children this half-term? 🌿

We’re teaming up with our lovely Town Wardens, Bradley and Charlie, to build a dead hedge in our nature play area!

Not only will it help create a natural windbreak, but it’ll also provide a little haven for woodland wildlife. 🐛🐜

📅 Thursday 29th October
⏰ 11am–1pm
📍 Nature Play Area

It’s completely free, and we’ll provide gloves and a few refreshments. Children must be accompanied by a grown-up.

Come along, get a little mucky and help us make something lovely for our woodland!
