POP UP PUB WITH A PIZZA VAN
The Trustees of the Village Hall have teamed up with the Appeals Committee to celebrate the completion of the refurbishment.
With a slight change of plan, we have chosen to book a PIZZA VAN for our celebration evening on Friday 24th October. With families in mind the Pizza oven will be ‘fired up’ and ready to serve Pizzas from 6.00pm. Although you can order on the night, we highly recommend you pre-order pizzas at the special early bird price of £10 per pizza, which will also provide a priority service!
The Neapolitan Style Pizzas include: Margarita, Ham & Mushroom, Ham & Pineapple; Pepperoni; BBQ Chicken; and Vegetarian. You can choose from a wider menu on the night and pay Pizza Shack direct the additional cost for extra toppings or orders of garlic bread etc.
Email harringworthvillage@gmail.com with the style and number of pizzas you wish to pre-order and an approximate time to eat – we will acknowledge your order and you can pay by cash or card on the evening.
HARVEST FESTIVAL IN HARRINGWORTH
The Church has been beautifully decorated for Harvest with flowers and produce thanks to our very talented team of flower arrangers. If you have not yet had a chance to visit, its not too late as they remained in place for the talk.
The Harvest Festival Service on Sunday morning was welcomed in by the ringing of the Church Bells and the Harvest Service included many traditional harvest hymns including ‘For the beauty of the earth’ and ‘We plough the fields and scatter’. As part of the service a fascinating insight into the ‘Frozen Pea’ was given by the Rev Canon Jane Baxter!
The service was followed by lunch attended by 43 people from the village and all prepared by our wonderful team of volunteers. Ham, pork pies, a variety of quiche, Coronation Chicken, coleslaw, numerous salads and bread formed a delicious buffet. It was a true feast that was followed by a selection of puddings, many made from local produce, including a summer pudding, apple crumble, Pavlova, fresh fruits, chocolate roulade, cheesecake and meringues.
After the lunch there was a mini quiz and a musical interlude organised by Diane Wordie, with singing, piano pieces, and an entertaining piece involving a typewriter!
The popular auction held of donated produce raised over £225 for The Rural Communities Mental Health (RCMH) Foundation and donations made by those in attendance raised £471 (including Gift Aid) for the Church Funds.
Thank you to everyone involved for making this a very special occasion. We have a few images to share from the day.
CHRISTMAS ARTISAN MARKET
We are excited to confirm that plans are coming together for the Harringworth Artisan Market in the Church on Saturday 15th November from 11.00am.
St John’s Café will be serving teas, coffees, cakes, mince pies and bacon baps and the ‘Created in Harringworth’. Tables will have a spread of cakes, Christmas bulbs, jams, chutney, marmalade and much more to buy – key to the success of the day is the variety of local artisans who will be selling wonderful gift ideas for Christmas.
