HARRINGWORTH SAFARI SUPPER

Saturday 8 June 2024 – a date for your diary…

We wanted to let you know the date for the Harringworth event of the year, the Safari Supper! The date is set for Saturday 8 June, 2024, so please put this in your diaries now. All villagers are welcome to join in and we hope that many of you will join us this year for this fun event!

For those new to the village, each couple hosts a course in their own home for six people. The evening begins with aperitifs at a secret location and then each couple moves on at specific times to different venues for the starter, the main course and then dessert. At the end of the evening, we all gather together for cheese, coffee and more drinks! Don’t worry if you are on your own, you can either join in with someone you know or we can sort this out for you – we are a friendly bunch!

More information will be sent out in due course, but if anyone is interested in hosting the before or after drinks, then feel free to contact either of us at any time.

We look forward to planning another great evening and are keeping our fingers crossed the weather will be kind to us!
