Pack the kids into your picnic baskets and head off down to Becketswell Meadow to enjoy our annual Jazz Picnic on 8th July from 6pm. The format is the same as in previous years, with entertainment by our old friends DixieMix. There will be a coffee stall, ice creams and a hot dog stall manned by Wymondham Lions, who will also be running a tombola. The evening is organised and stewarded by the Wymondham Rotary Club with help from their Satellite club members and members of the new Town Team.

This year our main sponsor is Spire Solicitors together with generous contributions from a number of other businesses and individuals, together covering all the costs of running the event. Entry to the public is free, but a voluntary collection will be taken during and after the event - all of which will be given to local charities supported by the Rotary Club. These include Norwich Foodbank, YANA, East Anglian Air Ambulance, Wymondham Men’s Shed and Greening Wymondham. Last year the voluntary donations exceeded £2,000.

Leave your cars behind if you can because parking is difficult near the site. You can walk from Whitehorse Street along the river path or along Becketswell Road to the Tiffey Bridge. Toilets will be available on site and because of limited parking for disabled vehicles, owners are asked to contact Philip Richardson on 07715 699211 before setting off.
