The November Roundup

 

Food Workshop with Bee from Tide Mill

This month we had the pleasure of welcoming Bee from Tide Mill for an inspiring food workshop. It was a wonderful afternoon of hands-on cooking—making dips entirely from scratch and learning about the historic Tide Mill in Woodbridge.

We were amazed to discover that the flour we used for our bread came directly from the mill itself. Our young people created two delicious dips and baked fresh bread in our very own pizza oven. It was a fantastic opportunity to explore new cooking techniques, discuss ingredients with Bee, and enjoy a shared meal together.

Charity of the Year – Christmas in Framlingham

We are honoured to have been chosen as the Charity of the Year for the Christmas in Framlingham celebrations!

Events will take place on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th December, and we are so grateful to Framlingham Town Council for selecting us as this year’s raffle charity. It’s shaping up to be a magical couple of days in the town—make sure to come along and soak up the festive spirit.

Woodbridge School Christmas Market

Come see us at the Woodbridge School Christmas Market on Saturday 6th December from 11am–2pm.

We’ll be selling our beautifully created cards and a limited number of our fresh, handmade wreaths. They go quickly—don’t miss out!

Suffolk Tractor Light Parade – 14th December

Our final event of the year will be the spectacular Suffolk Tractor Light Parade on 14th December.

Join us at the Campsea Ashe Auction House, or check the route to find the best spot to watch these brilliantly lit tractors pass by. It’s a fantastic display and all in aid of The Nest, The Rural Coffee Caravan, and SARS – Suffolk’s emergency medical charity.

We hope to see many of you there!

As we enter the last few weeks of term, it's time for a few extra layers and a couple more hot chocolates to keep us warm! Let the festive season begin!
