‘The Farm’ Returns to Harborough on Saturday 7 June in Harborough Town Square

The KPA is busy this term. Our first movie nights raised almost £600, and our evening discos were a huge success, with amazing dance moves from pre-schoolers to Year 6ers!

Have you ever heard of the Kibworth & District u3a?

At our meeting in February we commenced a members project. We reviewed and annotated a thousand plus photographs, which were donated to the Society by the late Isobel Cullum’s family. Isobel was the features writer for the Kibworth & District Chronicle for nearly 30 years. She had amassed myriad photos of many people and events over the years.

Play ‘Holiday Snap’.

We have gone very green!

Our focus over the last few weeks has been on the Midlands Area Contest on Sunday 8 March.

In our February meeting, professional artist Ian Mitchell, otherwise known as Inky Mitch, entertained Kibworth Art Lovers and visitors with a presentation of his unique style of line and vibrant watercolour. Ian is known in the Knighton and Clarendon Park area of Leicester for his colourful ink drawings of local shops, streets and houses.

Well, I’m sure you won’t need me to tell you that the start to 2026 has seen a little bit of rain. This hasn’t stopped the Fleckney and Kibworth runners though. First out of the starting blocks was Ellie Holland. She raced in the Harewood House Trail Races, Canicross 10k in 1.16.

We have been enjoying our indoor carpet bowls competitions this winter. This year’s winners of the Hollingsworth Cup were Les Cowley and Sue Graves (pictured below), who beat Eileen Clayton and Helen Nourish by just one shot in a nail-biting final.
