Kingcot will squeeze in 4 open days this year, guidelines permitting. This will hopefully enable you to get those unique, locally crafted items that you’ve been missing all year. Fabulous fused glass, tasteful textiles, wonderful watercolours and stupendous silver jewellery – I may be getting a tad carried away. Again if guidelines allow, refreshments will be available with donations to a local charity gratefully received. The Facebook page – Kingcot Gallery – will have the latest updates if guidelines change.

A Hundred Trees for a Hundred Years! Sheila & Stella (wood co-ordinators) The Kington & Dormston Parish Council have had a number of complaints from walkers and residents about dog fouling around the village. It is important that dog owners clear all dog mess by bagging and disposing of it appropriately as it is an offence and illegal not to do so - it also makes it much nicer for all residents. Thank you for your co- operation.
