The Feast Village Trail Fairy has been delighted with the great feedback about the 'then' pictures aligned with the 'now' views.
So much so the Fairy will leave them longer than planned and collect them in over the weekend...

🏏🍻🎸 MARKET OVERTON CRICKET CLUB

As the sun has now set on Market Overton Feast (Long) Weekend 2024, we can now reflect on what an amazing 4 days it's been.
So many people in the village (and our friends from over the wall) pulled together to make this wonderful event happen, allowing each element of village life to showcase itself and hopefully attract some new people.
Time will come to reflect on what it was and how it could be.
But for now, let's bask in the sunshine of the logo and the warmth of our village and recall the great memories of a wonderful institution!
As the Germans would say, 'Bis nächstes Jahr'

What a nice way to spend a Monday evening...

There is still time to get yourself some tickets for the Rutland Big Band who are playing at the village hall tomorrow night.

Our wonderful village hall committee have been so supportive and offered up yet again the profits of one of their events to help us keep the shop running.

Market Overton Village Hall Thank You!

Tickets are available in the shop or on the door.
