My proposal for a Kibworth Festival 2027 - a village of culture and fun was met with a mixed reception.

Dear Editor

I thought you'd like to know the total made at the clutter sale was £1500.47 which was brilliant. It just tops off our last few weeks, as we were honoured to be invited to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. This was a special occasion for both ourselves and GEMS charity.

We have almost drawn up a list of talks for the remainder of the year and look forward to some splendid presentations.

Tuesday 9 June - An Evening with Felicity Cloake, 7.30pm at Kibworth Books 

Market Harborough Choral Society are pleased to present under the musical directorship of Emma Trounson and accompanied by Oksana King on piano

The monthly public parish council meeting was held on 7 April at 7 pm in the Studio at the Kibworth Community Hub. The council approved apologies from absent councillors and approved the March meeting minutes.

On the 23 and 25 May, 11-5pm, Westview in Great Glen, LE8 9EH, an organically managed small garden packed full of plants and shrubs, including a courtyard, small pond, vegetable areas and recycled ornaments.

Music, dancing and good company – what more could you want?

Our annual handicapped club tournament took place on Wednesday 6 May. Thirty six members out of a possible 44 took part, a third of which were juniors and a quarter were women and girls. The youngest player was 10 years old and the oldest 77. This showed that age is no barrier to enjoying the ride!

At the beginning of May planning permission was granted by HDC for a Scout building on the land near to the bottom of Warwick Park.

As we move deeper into the 2026 season, there’s certainly been no shortage of effort, and excitement around the club. From tough weekends on the pitch to huge opportunities off it, the season so far has already shown exactly what our club is all about — resilience, community, and ambition.

will be holding a table-top sale on Saturday 13 June in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN. From 10am - 12.45. There will be a good variety of stalls including home-made wooden goods, craft stalls, hand-made cards, jewellery, knitted and crochet goods, including lots of assorted home-made items, jigsaws, books, pre-loved clothes, a raffle and lots more.

Our church in Smeeton Westerby has been in existence since 1848/9. For those of you who have visited, I think you will agree that it is a beautiful church in a glorious rural setting. The church council has always been diligent in keeping up with repairs and maintenance. They have ensured that it remains in the excellent condition that you find it today. However, you will have noticed that the footpath in front of the churchyard has had to be coned off. This is due to the ‘lean outwards’ of the churchyard wall having significantly increased. So much so that there is now a greater danger of it collapsing onto the footpath and highway. This is due to the soil behind it and the roots of a large, lime tree pushing against it.
