The Great Easter Egg Hunt - POSTPONEDThe Village Green
This was going to be on Saturday 4 April, 2.00pm – 4.00pm
Postponed - Please Read BelowDear Children, Parents and Guardians,
Due to the developments in the Coronavirus situation the Easter Egg Hunt is being postponed. The Easter Eggs’ best by dates are next year. We will still be able to have a great fun filled afternoon – just not on the original day.
Please let us know if you are interested. Having your booking (which does not commit you to the day) will give us your contact details so we can keep you updated. It also helps us buy enough eggs, while they are available, including anything needed to cater for any allergies or intolerances. Payment of £2 per child will be on the day.
If you don’t want to book now, you can still book when the new date is announced.
Follow a short trail through the village to where the Easter Eggs are waiting, with things to do along the way… Will there be Easter Chicks to play among or bunny paw prints to hop along?
With different questions to answer, challenges to try and new games to play, come along and enjoy this fun filled afternoon! A great time to share with all the family.
To book, or ask questions, please use our Event Contact Form
We look forward to welcoming you – Rae, Preston Trust committee member

Our Open Gardens Day, Sunday May 24th 2020: cancellationOur Open Gardens Day, Sunday May 24th 2020: cancellation
It is with huge regret that we have decided to cancel this year's Open Gardens Day. This seems sensible to us, whilst we all concentrate on other serious matters in the coming months.
Thank you all very much once again for such enthusiastic and generous support over many years, as visitors, flower arrangers, gardeners, ticket sellers and car park attendants, sandwich makers and cake bakers, and not forgetting Chris and Michelle with the beehive and many pots of honey on The Green. The income generated by this event each year has made a very significant and most welcome contribution to St. Martin's church.
The event has always been such a splendid annual achievement for our small community, since it was bravely initiated by Margaret Cashin and Sue Kellard 29 years ago. With such amazing talent and skill on display in all its aspects, this Day has become a highlight of the 'horticultural calendar' in this neighbourhood, with very many visitors returning each year to enjoy it all.
With love and good wishes to you all, Meta, Pam and Liz
