The onset of the Covid pandemic forced a radical rethink for artists such as Claire Holmes. As Thread & Ink, Claire’s chief outlet for her hand printed and embroidered textiles had been via art fairs. Thanks to Covid, these were now cancelled en masse.

Thus, in October 2020, Hallaton Artisan was born.

Kibworth Grammar School Hall is located in the heart of our community, and aims to provide a fantastic service to all. The hall is currently the venue of choice for local societies, clubs, fitness class, and birthday parties. The Hall can also host wedding receptions!

Bridge 67 Butchers are able to offer you a fantastic range of beef, pork and lamb from our farm in Smeeton Westerby. We also have chicken, Hambletons breads, British cheeses, not to mention our lovely range of relishes and sauces in our pantry.

Staff and residents at Kibworth Court Care Home would like to thank the Kibworth community for all their offers of assistance and help clearing up after the flood last week.
