Bring the family to Becketswell Meadow on Saturday 2nd July between 6pm and 9pm. Gates will open from 5:30pm. The fabulous DixieMix jazz band will be there to entertain you.

Bring your own chairs or blankets or simply sit on the grass to enjoy the music and to meet friends and neighbours. Bring your own picnic - but no barbeques, please - or enjoy hot dogs provided by Wymondham Lions Club, ice cream from Ronaldo’s and coffee (provided by and supporting the BREAK charity). There will be a tombola and other stalls too, so don’t forget to bring some money with you.

The event is organised by Wymondham Rotary Club with help from the Town Team and from the Rotary Satellite group and is free of charge. At the end of the evening you will be asked for voluntary donations - all of which will be given to local charities. (Last year over £2,000 was distributed to a number of needy causes). We hope, this year, to be able to take card donations as well as cash. All the expenses of the evening are generously sponsored by local companies and individuals.

Parking will be severely restricted on Becketswell Road so you are advised to walk to the event if you can. A taxi shuttle service will operate from Central Hall during the evening and there is limited space for disabled vehicles on Becketswell Meadow.

For those who are attending for the first time, Becketswell Meadow is across the River Tiffey from Wymondham Abbey and opposite the Abbey Station on the Dereham to Wymondham heritage railway line. There are two entrances for pedestrians - from Becketswell Road or from Whitehorse Street.
