Wildlife in the Churchyard
As the countryside in Britain becomes more industrialised and urbanised, there are fewer places for wildlife to live and wildflowers to grow. But there are tiny areas in every village, town and even city that are holding out against the onslaught. Continue reading “Wildlife in the Churchyard”

Cert 15
After leaving London for the English countryside, writer A.A. Milne starts to spin fanciful yarns about his son’s growing collection of stuffed animals. These stories form the basis for “Winnie-the-Pooh” and “The House at Pooh Corner,” published respectively in 1926 and 1928. Milne and his family soon become swept up in the instant success of the books, while the enchanting tales bring hope and comfort to the rest of postwar England.
Saturday 16th. June – 7.00pm for 7.30pm
Refreshments available throughout – ice cream at the interval!. Bring your own bottle of wine – glasses supplied.
A donation of £6 per ticket please. Book ahead or come on the door

The Ghost Train Postponed
It is with great regret that Hadlow Down Variety Club, following in the best tradition of British Rail, must announce that the Ghost Train scheduled to run on 4th. & 5th May has had to be postponed. One of our lead actors has suddenly fallen ill and will need a long period of recovery and we all wish him well. Being so close to the performance date finding someone to take the part on is not an option but the director and cast having already put so much work into what will be a great local theatrical production are determined that the show is not cancelled but just postponed. The new dates are November the 23rd. & 24th. The good news is that there may be more seats available! Watch this space!!
For all ticket queries and to book for the November dates ring:
