Jampacked June!

Jo MacArthur • May 26, 2026

A month famous for the start of summer proper marked by the solace, festivals and sporting events

Such as Royal Ascot and Wimbledon plus the King’s Birthday Parade and all the pomp that it represents.

We are into full picnic and bbq season with hopefully wonderfully warm weather and long hazy lazy days

To compliment the many village fetes and fairs as we enjoy the social get togethers and pleasant rays!

Oasiz are back in town with a tribute act like no other showcasing their famous swagger and biggest hits,

And By the Woods Craft Fair takes place selling local crafts, jewellery, art and woodwork and handmade knits!

So let’s just enjoy this radiant month capturing the glowing sunshine, and the uplifting early summer feeling,

With carefree days and the peak of nature’s growth which makes this month so joyful and appealing!

As summer’s last bright blooms gracefully fade, autumn’s embrace literally falls And the seasonal colours wrap around the countryside in a fiery covering of many shawls! It is a month of brisk walks, rosy cheeks and the anticipation of a slice of something homemade, With the harvest gathered and every footpath drenched in leaves showcasing a colourful cascade! Let’s savour the spirit of October from Halloween and ghost stories told around cackling fires, To the sight of majestic red deer locking horns and scurrying hedgehogs across all the shires. The Legends of Motown are performing at the Town Hall with timeless hits and an evening of fun, Along with The Carpenters Experience featuring their classics such as ‘We’ve Only just Begun’! The Sodbury Players are also presenting a spine-tingling double bill of original plays, And not too far away The Cheltenham Literary Festival will celebrate with subjects to amaze! So let’s get ready for the clocks to go back and the stunning vibrant foliage of reds and gold, With a satisfying nip in the air to accompany the natural beauty and creating a sight to behold!

It’s hard to believe that we have almost galloped through the summer’s balmy rays, With one minute being boiling hot and the next scrabbling for a jumper for the cooler days! The Great British weather is a juxtaposition of sunshine and showers and always the subject Of a steadfast topic of conversation, and a theme of which we can all really connect! September is the time to finish the year’s harvest and celebrate its bounty and to prepare For the cooler, fresh mornings, a sentimental feeling of change and a slight nip in the air! The Mop Fair takes place once again, along with a tribute act to the one and only King Of Rock and Roll, The Elvis Legacy, a top selling international show with some extra bling! Also at the Town Hall the Sodbury Players are performing Wyrd Sisters, a satirical slew On Macbeth featuring a murdered king and three chaotic, unconventional witches in a stew! The Comedy Club also returns with an hilarious evening to put us in the mood with a lift, As we switch to the warm hue of early autumn and get ready for the ‘Summer to Fall’ shift.
