Michael Wood will be returning to Kibworth on Wednesday 25 May @ 7pm when he will give a reprise of the Story of England and then take us into In Search of the dark Ages and the connection that Queen Aftheldlard had with Leicester.

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to our Vice-Chair Sarah Cripps, who is moving away from the village. Sarah has been a very active member of the KVH Committee for over ten years, and has been instrumental in driving forward, and securing grant money for the hall upgrades. She has also been the driving force in re-establishing Burns Night as a staple of the Kibworth Village Hall calendar, re-energizing this event, including arranging the bookings, cooking the food and making sure that the event was a success. The committee will all miss Sarah and thank her for all she has done on our behalf.
