Tickenham Open Gardens

Our first Open  Gardens day on 23 June 2019 was a huge success with over 400 visitors enjoying the gardens, plant sales and refreshments.  In fact it was such a success that we decided to do it again!  Then came the coronavirus and sadly our Open Gardens 2020 had to be cancelled.

The organising group met recently (virtually of course) and decided that 2021 was still uncertain, so the next Open Gardens in Tickenham will be in 2022. The reserved dates are 26th June and 3rd July.   We will be back with a bigger and better event  – there may even be a mini-bus to take you to drop-off points along the way!  In the meantime do note the provisional optional dates in your diaries: that’s – SUNDAY 26th JUNE or SUNDAY 3rd JULY 2022.    We will confirm which date as soon as possible so watch this space for more details.

TICKENHAM POST OFFICE

In the run up to Christmas the local Post Offices can be very crowded with long queues.  Why not buy your stamps and post your parcels at Tickenham Post Office, where the parking is easy?  It’s open on Mondays from 10 till 11.30 and Wednesdays from 2 till 4 pm, in the Committee Room of the Village Hall (access via the back door).  On Mondays you can even have coffee and cake!  Tickenham Post Office will run all through December, so please patronise it and help keep it open.

Village Market this Saturday

Don’t forget it’s village market this coming Saturday (10th October). We will have our usual craft stalls along with fresh bread, ham and delicious cakes.

Bacon butties and cake will of course be served – come along and catch up with old friends for a natter.
