Santa was the main attraction in his magical grotto. The Friends of Sherfield team worked very hard, and it was all worth it. Thanks to all who came and supported us.”

CHRISTMAS Fair: At Sherfield Park Community Centre, this Saturday, from 2pm until 5pm.

LOCAL Community Choir ‘Singhealthy’ Concert and Singalong: Was due to be in the village hall on Saturday. Natalie says: “Unfortunately, due to illness, this event has had to be cancelled.”
