Great family fun evening with safe friendly ferrets. Best entertainment to shrug off those Covid Blues.
Look forward to seeing everyone especially the children
In view of the extremely high covid infection rates it has been decided to postpone the BINGO evening planned to take place on Saturday 22nd January 2022 and the Ferret Racing evening on Saturday 19th February 2022.
We realise this will be a disappointment to many but feel we cannot take the risk of spreading the Omicron variant throughout the village.
As soon as the level of infections reduce we will reschedule both events.
Launched by Fortnum & Mason on Monday 10 January, The Platinum Pudding Competition marks the beginning of the official celebrations for the jubilee.
The competition aims to find a dessert worthy of dedicating to the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Entries must be submitted by February 4th 2022.
Please see attached file.
Brayford Village & Farmers Market
We are seeing a sudden increase of Covid infections in the area, and gathering together, which we all want to do, will just put our vulnerable and our youngest members of the family at risk. With regret, we are postponing our January 8th Village & Farmers Market to February 12th at the Village Hall. We hope to see you all then!
With Covid racing through our Village and community, we have decided that holding our traditional Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols Service at High Bray Church just wouldn’t be responsible, putting our friends and neighbours at greater risk.
All of us are very disappointed, as that community celebration is a joyous part of our Christmas; but we’re looking forward to 2022!
With our wishes to all for a better and healthier New Year.

The High Bray Church Tower Appeal Auction has finished and with extra donations raised £ 5,000.00. We are very, very grateful to all who took part in participating in the Auction and to those who offered donations towards the Appeal.
From all those who enjoy High Bray Church and its Churchyard
High Bray Church has been open to our Village for over 800 years: for Services, Easter & Harvest Celebrations, weddings & funerals, and more recently 'Puddings & Song', Bell Ringers, the Singing Group, and the School Christmas Play.
Now the tower needs urgent repair, and if not repaired, it will limit the use of our Church.
This auction is to help raise the £32,000.00 which is needed to repair the church tower. All proceeds will go to the tower repair project. We are very grateful for any support you can offer!
The online auction is LIVE now - please use the link below to get involved.
