Village news from Helen Price – 28/6/18

Kings Bromley Open Gardens

Open Gardens last weekend was a fantastic success drawing in hundreds of visitors plus many excited children who came to spot the fairies scattered throughout the gardens. Eleven gardens were open to the public, the Ryknild Rabble Morris Dancers added spectacle throughout, plus the Lichfield Community Jazz Band played in one of the gardens on Sunday afternoon. The WI decorated the village with Yarn bombing and fairies, together with providing refreshments.

A grand total of over £2,600 was raised from entrance tickets, plant sales and refreshments and this makes a very welcome contribution to our Village Hall Refurbishment fund. Many thanks and congratulations go to all who put so much time and effort into making this such a successful event.
