Cinema in the Langtons presents 

Happy New Year from the KPA!

Happy New Year from the Kibworth Benefice Churches.

After Christmas, I’d like to reflect on recent events in our village. We held a successful Christmas Fayre with lively chatter and laughter. The following Wednesday, Helen Benton, our village Pilates teacher, organised a well-attended ‘LOROS’ Coffee morning, raising another £500 for a deserving charity. This added to the £200 raised from CoCo mornings and £300 from the Christmas Fayre.

Leicestershire Parkinson's Choir welcomes all people living with Parkinson’s, your family, carers and friends.  You can join at any time. Singing not only boosts mood, it helps with breathing, posture and helps keep pathways open in the brain for speech.

If you are a regular watcher of wildlife programmes, you will be familiar with “trail cams”. These are small cameras attached to a tree or post that are triggered by movement. They capture images of shy and nocturnal mammals moving along forest trails, often at night.

Our sisters in Nigeria invite us to join them for the World Day of Prayer on Friday 6 March 2026. The service they have prepared reflects on the theme, “I will give you rest”.

For a fifth successive year the Leicester Comedy Festival will be at the Robert Monk Village Hall in Foxton. The event is on Friday 13 February, starting at 8pm (doors and bar open from 7.30pm). It will feature some of the best stand up comedians from the UK comedy circuit. Tickets priced £15 are for 18yrs+ only. This is always a sell out so be sure to book early on the Leicester Comedy Festival website at https://events.comedy-festival.co.uk/events/foxton-comedy-club/

Our plea for Kibworth & District Chronicle deliverers for East Langton has been successful with three people stepping forward. Thank you to those who have volunteered.

Christmas can mean very different things to different people: joy and connection for some, but for others it can bring stress, grief, financial pressure, loneliness, relationship breakdown, or concerns about young people.
