This year’s pantomime features 2 animals and the Horti are looking for volunteers interested in donning a cow suit for each performance! Why not come along and have a go!
We are also looking for volunteers to help out during the performances this year. Tasks range from selling raffle tickets and ice creams to helping out on stage setting up for each scene. Please contact Toby Davidson (stage manager) on 07970 636168 or call in at the Village Hall on any Sunday.
We can always find you a paintbrush if nothing else!

Once again the Long Marston Victory Hall Committee will be hosting their annual ‘Fabulous Fireworks’ on Old Tom’s Field at the North end of the Village (just below Potash Lane) on Saturday 1st November. Gates open at 6:15pm with a stall selling Burgers, sweets and plenty of mulled wine to keep the cold out! The bonfire will hopefully be lit around 6:40pm (wind permitting!) with the display starting around 7pm, courtesy of our resident expert, David Severs. Entry on the gate is £6 for adults and £2 for under 16’s but advanced tickets can be bought from the Queens Head at a discounted price of £5(£1.50) or call Vicky Hayes on 07855 369515. Volunteers are also required to help build the bonfire the week before and help with set up on the day. This promises to be a great show for all the family. See you there!!

Writing this article whilst the sun is beaming down gives us all hope of a lovely summer after this winter’s rains. Plans for the annual village show in Long Marston continue a-pace and let’s hope this weather will bring us another record number of entries for the flower and produce section.
We also have a new event in June – a midsummer picnic for the whole village to enjoy. This will feature a rounders competition, so get your teams together and come and play. All the fun takes place on the recreation ground behind the Victory Hall on Sunday 22nd June from 1pm.
The Horti are also looking forward to helping out at this year’s Marsworth Steam Rally where we will be running the barbeque next to the beer tent. This massively popular event is now in its 16th year and will again be staged to support a range of local charities and worthy fundraising causes. The fun starts at 11am and goes on until 5pm, admission is £4 for adults and £2 for children with every ticket qualifying for entry into a free raffle prize draw.
Attracting visitors from miles around, it’s a great day out for all the family and a great Fathers Day treat for any machinery-minded man! See historic steam engines, agricultural vehicles, classic and vintage cars, motorcycles and trucks, PLUS a lot of family fun too. Tring fire brigade will be showing their fire engine, emergencies permitting, and as usual there will be various events in the arena throughout the day including the dog agility display, back by popular request, and steam engine rides for children (of all ages)!
The next village event however is the annual football match being played on the 2nd May. Lee has organised a full evening do that day with a bar (courtesy of Fullers brewery), disco and a curry. The event is FREE and is raising money to be put back into the village, so do please come along and support.
