Platinum Jubilee picnic- thank you!
Thank you to everyone who took part in our Jubilee picnic, craft events and hobby horse obstacle races on Sat 4 June: to our amazing volunteers and everyone who joined in. It was lovely working with St Helens and St Peters Churches and making good use of Rectory Meadows.
Did you spot our chalk crown trail through the churchyard and follow on up for a cream tea at the Chapel Gym?
We’re collecting photos of the fun day, so if you have some you are happy to share with us (please check with those who are in them, especially with respect to children) please email info@wheathampstead-pc.gov.uk. We hope to make a montage of some of them.
