Thank you to everyone who came and supported our Car Boot Sale at Grove School in April . Lovely sunny day with 27 stalls. We raised £270 towards the Grove School.'Enterprise Shed' project. Stall holders gave a gold star to the newly refurbished indoor toilets at the Grove Venue and were pleased to be able to arrive and set up from 9am instead of 'crack of sparrow fart' times at other Car Boot Sales. See below details for the next Car Boot Sale at Grove School on Sunday 28th June 2026

Members of the MDCE Team have been busy this afternoon cleaning and revarnishing the stained glass Covid memorial sculpture installed in centre of town behind the library in 2022.
Just in case folk dont know - the three panels represent all the dedicated work from the local NHS workers. Care workers and Key workers during the Covid epidemic in Market Drayton . The Rainbow Pillar = local NHS staff . The Hearts Pillar = local Care workers. The Horiontal lines = local Key workers who delivered essential supplies of goods and services to the community.

Right now, in a world full of food, families in Gaza still go days without a proper meal. 💔 While we prepare for Eid, parents and children in Gaza wait in uncertainty. But this is preventable. Your Qurbani delivers fresh meat, dignity, and hope when they need it most.

Market Drayton Schools Calendar Project
We have been running free painting workshops featuring each calendar month in 12 local Primary Schools in and around Market Drayton for over 13 years, with over 2500 local school children aged 4 - 11 yr olds taking part each year .
Your support would greatly help us with the purchase of art materials needed for the workshops . It would also help towards paying the costs of venue hire and expenses for mounting the Annual Art Exhibition at Grove School, celebrating all the paintings chosen to feature in the Annual Schools Calendar alongside a display of artwork from Grove Students and paintings by all the shortlisted children from each Primary School.
