With a mix of handmade loveliness, plus crystals, readers and therapists, this is going to be the perfect way to bridge the gap between work and the weekend. We will be open from 6-9pm, with the bar open from 7pm, so why not bring some friends and make a social evening of it.

A personal favourite is the annual Art Exhibition at the Community Hall where we can browse (and sometimes buy) and consume a coffee and cake. The Art Exhibition has been a mainstay of Shefford events for as long as I can remember showing the artistic talent residing in our town. A lovely show so do go along on Saturday 21st and/or Sunday 22nd from 10.00 to 4.00pm
Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd our local Bowls Club will hold their annual finals and open day activities – on the green opposite the STMA 10.30 – 3.30pm both days. So for a lazy watch or a gentle try out then that is the place to go!
I for one am really pleased at the way community events are gaining traction here in Shefford – so now we have a Community Market as part of the Community Festival – the Market run by Lesley Whiteman (of River Dream Events) on behalf of the town council takes place on the second Saturday of each month and so will be held on Saturday 14 September from 9.00 – 1.00pm with up to 21 stalls running between Morrisons ( Pamoli Square) and the High Street, offering a diverse mix of products including consumables, crafts and local community fundraisers/awareness stalls.
