We are pleased to say that our Cupcake Day on Sunday 13 June was a great success, and that we raised £75 for the Alzheimer’s Society. A huge thank you to everyone who came along and bought a cake! A special note of thanks goes out to those who baked cupcakes for us, and the team of volunteers who helped run the event.
Memories of Navenby
We will be holding an oral history project day on Saturday 17 July at the cottage called Memories of Navenby. Come and share your photos and memories of Navenby with us.
The event will be starting at 12noon and ending at 4pm.
Bring along your photographs of Navenby for us to scan and digitally add to the Navenby Archive (so you can keep the original). If you have stories to share about the village you can learn all about our Oral History collecting project, allowing us to record your memories.
This workshop has been in part funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of our restoration and reinterpretation project. Allowing us to offer it to you at a subsidised ticket cost!

Our artist-in-residence Nicki Jarvis has been inspired by the lovely ‘datestones’ all around Navenby to make some versions in clay. This workshop has been funded as part of her Arts Council England project ‘Take Part and Make Art TOGETHER.’ with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Join us to create a decorative clay tile to capture YOUR favourite aspects of the village, which will then be added to a public artwork for Navenby. You are also welcome to make one to keep if you wish.
Session 1 – 10:00 to 11:00
Session 2 – 11:30 to 12:30
Session 3 – 13:30 to 14:30
Session 4 – 15:00 to 16:00
All materials and tools will be supplied. You may want to bring an apron or wear old clothing.
Please note: the finished work will be taken away by Nicki for firing but personal artworks can then be collected at a later date.
