THE HEN PARTY – EASTER SATURDAY – MARCH 22nd – 10 till 4 Spring is sprung and we are celebrating the new season with our usual Hen Party here at the Kitchen Garden. Plans are afoot for old favourites and new features. We are expecting several new breeders to show their birds in the Marquee, including some bright little bantams from Mike Vince and Beverley Chilvers. Fingers crossed for decent weather and no more bad news from Defra. (In the event of an AI outbreak, the Hen Party will go ahead, but breeders will only be selling hatching eggs.) Max and Ferg will be dressing up as Easter bunnies again to hide eggs, and this year, BBC Look East presenter Julie Reinger will be judging the Easter Bonnet/hat parade. Feed suppliers Allen & Page will be joining us, and there will be the usual range of seasonal goodies: honeycomb, jams, Simnel cakes, lemon curd, meringues, Easter plants and presents. The ladies of the WI will be providing refreshments in St Mary’s Church, and there will be lambs (hopefully), craft stalls and Tombola in the churchyard. Regular visitors will know our limitations, so please be patient and park where indicated in the village, and walk up Church Lane.
