If you love cheese, pop the date in your diary now. Our fabulous cheese festival is returning bigger and better this year at a new venue, Kibworth Community Hub (formerly Kibworth Grammar School Hall).

‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ in Burton Overy the weekend of 29 November to 1 December. Every year, (bar Covid), since the year 2000, the villagers of Burton Overy, (and we welcome others), have filled their church with beautifully decorated and lit Christmas Trees. Over the years there have been countless tree titles and ingenious ideas around the festival’s theme.

It has been noted that our excellent pharmacy had a new permanent sign installed on Monday 21 October. Romin and his wife Sahnieya Tayub have really turned around this business since they took over Lloyds Chemist. The car park spaces have also been clearly marked. Well done.

Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital will be holding a Christmas table top sale on Saturday 14 December in Kibworth Village Hall, LE8 0LN, from 10am until 12.45pm.

Our annual Christmas concert is now less than a month away, and we really are getting excited to perform for you on Saturday 30 November!

Further details will be given nearer the date.
