Community Carol Service – Tues. 19th, 6pm

Do go along to our lovely village church and join in the Christmas carols service – the more voices – the merrier 🙂

The Broadwindsor Carol service will take place in church at 6pm on Tuesday 19th December. Come and join in this community event, back in church for the first time since Covid. Hear the story, sing familiar carols and put the Nativity figures in the crib.
There is no midnight mass in Broadwindsor this year, we don’t have the volunteers to host the event late in the evening. However, you are welcome to join in with a service at Stoke Abbott at 10pm on Christmas Eve or 11.30pm at Beaminster. Broadwindsor will host a Christmas Day Family service with communion at 10.30am on Christmas Day.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas, every blessing, Jo.

Unit To Let At Redlands Yard

Just announced…

Sadly, Clare Colby, the curator of The Gallery of Makers is stepping down and moving away to a new area.
Clare has run the gallery for the last 5 years and has been integral to its success.
Redlands Yard are therefore hoping to find someone to take on this role.
The space is ideal for someone (or two people sharing) who are looking for workspace and can create income by renting space to other artists and makers.
For further information or other unit availability, please get in touch with Sarah at hello@redlandsyard.co.uk
