A short while ago I was wondering what more the festival could do for Shefford this year and this bit of fun came to mind – let’s give away 100 cupcakes!
Fortunately, the festival has friends who are willing to support such flights of fancy – friends like Livinglife who agreed to include the voucher in their next issue and like the team at Rose’s @ Duck Lane who agreed to provide the cupcakes, and to distribute them to the lucky first 100 people who take in an original voucher on the no liability basis of one cake per person, per voucher on the 17th September, between 9.00 am and 2.00 pm.
So it is simple – find the cupcake voucher in the next copy of LivingLife and take it to Rose’s – if you are one of the first 100 at the right time then you can claim a cupcake – and knowing what Rose’s cakes are like then it will be delicious!
So do enjoy the Community Festival again this year with our best wishes.
Shefford Community Festival, LivingLife and Rose’s at Duck lane accept no liability in respect of the cakes or their provision.
Things are definitely hotting up for our festival in September – just seven weeks away – we have a new Craft Fair and now the Scarecrow Festival is calling for entrants. Always a favourite, we are expecting to see many excellent scarecrows pulled out from lofts and sheds – plus we would love to see lots of new ones all around Town. So do get creative and make a scarecrow to display over the weekend of 16th to 18th September. Register the address of where your scarecrow is located and then join in the fun trail around Shefford and surrounding areas to find all the others!

We are delighted to see that following her successes with the Garage Sale Trail – Lesley Whiteman has launched a new Craft Fair for this year’s festival – taking place at the STMA Lesley is calling for stall holders at what promises to be a lively and interesting event for all the community. Afterall who doesn’t like to wander around a good craft fair?
One of our signature events is calling for registrations – have a stall in your drive/garden and sell off whatever you’ve got – this always popular Garage Sale Trail also offers the opportunity to walk around Shefford and get to know lots of people while buying stuff. I love it because I also get to see the Scarecrow Festival on the way round.
The kids playground at the centre of Shefford has always been a good place for mums and dads to take young kids – positioned adjacent to Palmoli Square it is on a very popular route and convenient to Morrisons, library, industrial/retail estate, Church, dance school and high street. Following its recent refurbishment, it seems to get packed – especially when Eat Feast is in town!
Shefford town centre – the memorial and market square on a lovely sunny day – a nice place to see the world go on with its business, from a bench or a cafe – it is a busy place with all our estate agents, takeaways and hair/beauty establishments – also of course the library, church ( now serving coffees again), council office and chemist.
Set back from the road this nonetheless impressive Methodist Church may be easily missed – but is well known to the wider community for the range of dance classes and other events held there. What would we do without these community-oriented venues?
You are never far from an eatery when in town – here’s a couple of them for starters – and for dessert!
A short walk out from the Post Office we come to a bridge, which seems to be home to our local ducks – a flock of variable size depending on how many ducklings survive I suppose. Some of them even end up in local gardens – they hoovered up all our goldfish one year!
Just a flash of iridescent blue across the water and it was gone. Not for the first time on our local rivers but it seems you have to be quick to spot them – walking Shefford’s rivers can be a rewarding pastime.
