Tomorrow, Friday 5th Oct, it’s Skittles Night –  with many of our regulars not able to come this time (Liz and Andrew, Jasmina, Dee and Tony, amongst others), it’s a good time to have a go if you haven’t tried it before – all ages and abilities welcome  – it’s all very informal, bring your own drinks, there’ll be some pasties etc for sale – should be fun.

>> See our skittles page for more details, past photos etc.

As always, Village Greens is open 9 am til 2 pm, offering a range of produce to buy, breakfasts, tea/coffee etc., and soup lunches.
