Dear Editor,

This August, Liz Ives will be celebrating an incredible milestone. 20 years on the High Street in Kibworth with her much-loved salon, ’The Beauty Room'.

We are delighted to say that after the great success of our Murder Mystery Supper night, ‘Murder in the Mailbox’, performed in Smeeton Westerby Village Hall on 13 and 14 June, we have been invited to perform it once again at Tur Langton Village Hall on Friday 4 July.

The annual and monthly parish council meeting was held on 6 May at 7 pm in the Studio at the Kibworth Community Hub.

The annual and usual parish council public meeting was held on 27 May 2025 in the Studio in the Kibworth Community Hub.

The Kibworth & District Chronicle is not a dinosaur outfit living in the past! We have created our own QR code.

By the time this goes to print, we will have just finished running our two murder mystery evenings, performed for us by the Main Stage Theatre Company. These are always really popular nights which meant that the group were able to perform to capacity audiences. We have to thank the cast and crew for putting on two such professional and enjoyable shows. The profit is going towards our excellent new sound system.

As part of Kibworth Community Library’s Local History Season, a talk was given about the Black Death and how it impacted Kibworth.

At our annual exhibition held on the weekend of 31 May/1 June, Kibworth Art Lovers were proud to display a wide range of art by our talented local artists. We were again delighted with the community support. Over 220 visitors viewed paintings of flowers, urban and country scenes, portraits, seascapes and more. The public vote for favourite painting went to Pat Porteous’s ‘Balcony in Venice’ (shown below).

Living in a rural area & listening to Farming Today Catch Up on BBC Sounds has made me aware of the needs of our farmers and the challenges they face. Hence the idea for an event called The Farm Comes to Harborough in Harborough Town Square.
