After Christmas, I’d like to reflect on recent events in our village. We held a successful Christmas Fayre with lively chatter and laughter. The following Wednesday, Helen Benton, our village Pilates teacher, organised a well-attended ‘LOROS’ Coffee morning, raising another £500 for a deserving charity. This added to the £200 raised from CoCo mornings and £300 from the Christmas Fayre.

It is with great regret, we have to inform you that from 31 March 2026 the charity, Kibworth Grammar School Hall (also known as Kibworth Community Hub, charity number 1044822) will be dissolved and the lease handed back to Kibworth Beauchamp Parish Council.

Throughout the season of Autumn, it was amazing to see the most wonderful abundance of fruit laden trees and bushes throughout the village. As a celebration of this, we held a Harvest Supper and Harvest Festival Service. We gave thanks to all those who provide us with our food. Both events were well attended and enjoyed by all who came along.

We are seeking some extra volunteers to assist with the distribution of the Kibworth & District Chronicle. It only takes place once a month and possibly lasts no more than half an hour! The Distribution/ Publication date is always shown on the back of the Kibworth & District Chronicle for the following month.

The Welcome Kitchen returns at the end of the month. The first Monday that it will be operational is 27 October.
