NEWS FROM THE MEMORIAL HALL

Heritage tea and Sunday Café

Thank you to all who joined us for our heritage May Day tea back in May. We feel it is important to the village history to keep these events going and we are always grateful to those who come and support us at these events.

Our ever-popular café always receives good support and it’s great to be able to provide a regular event where residents can catch up with neighbours and friends over a delicious breakfast. Thanks to all those who join us to make it such a successful community morning. Thanks also go to Carole Oliver, Julie Webb, Kim Oliver, Mandy Carson and Fiona Gunn-Stokes for their help with these events.

Cold Ashby Open Gardens

Cold Ashby Open Gardens is a long-established event in the Cold Ashby calendar. The brainchild of Maureen Lill, back in 1991, the event was introduced to raise much-needed funds for St Denys church. Being one of the first open gardens in the area, it soon became popular with gardeners near and far who visited year on year to enjoy a summer’s afternoon wandering around up to 26 gardens before enjoying a fabulous cream tea in the village hall. In the early days people would be queueing up to the phone box and it wasn’t unusual to welcome over 800 visitors to the village over the course of the weekend.  Well times change, and although we don’t achieve those numbers these days, we are still very grateful to those who do attend and enjoy the hospitality of our friendly and welcoming village - this year was no exception. To date we have welcomed approximately 16,400 visitors and amassed a total of £121,002 for church funds. Not bad for a tiny community who come together and work hard to make the day so successful. Our thanks once again go to all the volunteers who pulled together and worked so hard to make 2026 another wonderful year.  (More details of this year's event will follow in the next edition.)
