Tarrington Village Fete & Dog Show – Sat 4 July 2026 @ 12 noon
This year the village fete will have a Wild West theme. As well as the ever popular dog show there is going to be a Line Dancing demonstration from Karen and her team at StepinTime in Hereford, with an opportunity to have a go yourself. So get your cowboy boots and Stetson out – it’s a chance to dress up and join in! You could even win the fancy dress competition! If you’re not interested in the Wild West theme, don’t worry. It will still be a traditional fete with teas and cakes, tombola, BBQ, licensed bar, various stalls and, of course, a raffle. Those running some of the stalls are keen, as ever, for your donations to help make the day a success.
Hereford Gilbert & Sullivan Society presents Seaside Concerts
Open Garden at The Vine – Saturday 8 August 2026
Flicks in the Sticks – will return in September!
Adults £5, U-16 and Film Club £2.50.
If the idea of a regular night out at your local cinema appeals, why not come along and join our film club – annual subscription is £25 with admission to all films reduced by £2.50/session – support the Hall’s Film programme and meet your friends.
There will be no film showings in the June to August period – too many other outdoor activities to distract people. However, we will be planning a programme for the Autumn season with a film each month, from September till Christmas. It will be as varied as we can make it – including at least 1 foreign language title. If you have particular favourite title you’d like us to show, please let me know by email.
We have been discussing the future of Flicks in the Lady Emily Hall, beyond 2026, as the work involved is becoming a burden for the small organising committee – age is creeping up on each of us – and we need some regular assistance with setting up and running each film. It seems a shame to stop after more than 20 years of having our own local cinema, but currently it depends on about 4 people to run everything. We would obviously welcome offers of help !
We would appreciate other people’s view on whether it’s worthwhile continuing – films are readily available on other media – but because of our showing format – we run a bar, provide other refreshments and always have an intermission it is a friendly social occasion. As a result, we do have a small regular audience and, on occasions, up to 100 attending the most popular/critically acclaimed titles.
From the Hall’s perspective, it provides valuable income, approximately £1000 net per year, which is roughly 10% of total income, excluding grants.
