One of the highlights of Probus Fun Week is our ever-popular Family Bingo which returns on the 9th August, and we’re looking for the support of our fantastic local businesses to help make it bigger and better than ever!

We’re kindly asking if any local businesses would be willing to donate a prize for our bingo event. Prize donations could include:

🎁 Gift vouchers
💆 Beauty treatments
🍽️ Meals or hospitality experiences
🛍️ Products or hampers
🎟️ Event tickets
☕ Afternoon teas
🍺 Drinks vouchers
✨ Or anything else you think would make a great prize!

Every donation helps us raise funds to support Probus Fun Week and keep bringing affordable family entertainment to our village.

If you are able to help, prizes can be dropped off at The Hawkins Arms at your convenience.

We will, of course, be thanking and promoting all businesses that kindly support us.

This year, we promised to deliver a bigger and better Fun Week than ever before… and we’re kicking things off in style.

We’re putting together our very own Probus Fun Week Carnival Band to lead the carnival procession 🎺🥁

We’d love to hear from anyone interested in getting involved. Whether you play the trumpet, trombone, triangle – or haven’t picked up an instrument in years – all abilities are welcome.

We’re hosting an informal meeting at The Hawkins Arms at May 10th 4pm, so come along, have a chat with our band director, and see if, as a village, we can make this happen.

✨ What a Night! ✨

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us at the first ever Fun Week Masquerade Ball on Saturday evening. The atmosphere, the outfits, the energy in the room – it was simply incredible. Seeing the Probus Village Hall completely transformed and filled with people having such a fantastic time made all the hard work worth it.

Events like this truly show what our community can do when everyone comes together. Not only did we have an unforgettable evening of glitz, glamour and great entertainment, but we also know that we raised an incredible amount of money for Children with Cancer UK. ( we are still awaiting some of the auction money so will update with the final number when we get it.

We also want to say a huge thank you to the many local businesses and suppliers who helped bring the evening to life. Your generosity, support and donations played a huge part in making the event such a success.

👏 To the Probus fun week team & our volunteers who helped plan, decorate, organise, run the bar, sell raffle tickets, manage the auction and pack down afterwards – we simply couldn’t do this without you.

🎵 To DU HAG OWR, Lisa Martin Vocalist & The Urban Party Project - thank you for bringing the evening to life with outstanding music to the party - it was done perfectly.

🌺 Landi from Landi’s Flowers, your talent is just phenomenal - and the flower arrangements were just stunning.

💛 And finally, thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, donated prizes, bid in the auction, bought raffle tickets and supported the evening.

The feedback has been incredible, and hearing how much people enjoyed themselves means the world to us.

So here is to next years….but first straight into planning Probus Fun Week 2026 see you on the 8th August - 😎
