The Big Picnic on Butterfield Green - 'what a tease the weather was'

As a result of the recent weather and the forecast, it was decided that the picnic could not take place as intended on Sunday 7th June.



However, although the event was officially postponed, an impromptu gathering went ahead as the sun came out and a number of the musicians performed during the afternoon, including Grupo Ase (Cuban rhythms); Bow and Bellows (including lovely singing); and Kate Shortt (classical and jazz cellist, and comedienne).

With special thanks to Bron for organising the entertainment, and to Paul for organising the event.
