We are delighted to say that after the great success of our Murder Mystery Supper night, ‘Murder in the Mailbox’, performed in Smeeton Westerby Village Hall on 13 and 14 June, we have been invited to perform it once again at Tur Langton Village Hall on Friday 4 July.

At our annual exhibition held on the weekend of 31 May/1 June, Kibworth Art Lovers were proud to display a wide range of art by our talented local artists. We were again delighted with the community support. Over 220 visitors viewed paintings of flowers, urban and country scenes, portraits, seascapes and more. The public vote for favourite painting went to Pat Porteous’s ‘Balcony in Venice’ (shown below).
