BUCKBY FEAST

Don't forget that Buckby Feast will take place on the last weekend in August. After starting last year with just one day of - excellent - entertainments, the organisers have arranged a much more ambitious programme of events spread over several days, this year. Look out for the posters and leaflets and make sure that you join in some of the activities. It looks like being a great weekend.
