ON SATURDAY 4TH MAY 10-12 MIDDAY WE HELD OUR COMMUNITY CAFÉ WITH GUEST LOCAL FLORIST NICOLA FROM NATURE BARN BLOOMS , PLANT SALE AND RAFFLE. It seems like a fabulous time was had by all at Felbrigg Village Hall floral demo and plant sale this morning. Thank you to everyone that came along!
Did you come to see us today? We’d love you to write a little review in the comments at the bottom of the page if you would 😃
Naturebarnblooms, thank you so much for coming along Nicola, your arrangements were awesome 🌺🪻🌻
Nature Barn, thank you Nick your wood work is awesome too 🪚🪵. What a team you are ❤️
We were absolutely amazed at how many people we had turn up for this event. It is so lovely to see the village hall buzzing with people having a cuppa and homemade treats. The cakes and sausage rolls went down well again!
Nicola from NatureBarnBlooms joined our Community Café, demonstrating how to make a beautiful spring bowl with plants from our plant sale, she also had lots of her makes on display for sale on some gorgeous wooden presentation pieces made by hubby Nick from NatureBarn. Handmade & Sustainably sourced each of Nicola’s designs were unique and carefully considered. She said she loves working with locally sourced blooms and this year she is growing her own to use in fresh & dried creations. You can find both Nicola and Nick on Facebook, Instagram and Etsy @NatureBarnBlooms and @NatureBarn . Lots of people registered their interest for Nicola to hold a floral workshop at the village hall in the near future and a Christmas one too.
We are took the opportunity to have another plant sale alongside Nicola’s demonstration as the April plant sale was very popular. It’s the time of year everyone likes to make their gardens look pretty with some colourful plants of which we had lots.
As we have said before bringing the community together is the our aim of all the events we are looking to put on at the village hall this year, our lives are so busy now we all need to have a little down time where we can forget about our worries for a short while, or share them with those around us. There was another super atmosphere today, with everyone chatting and swapping tables to see friends and neighbours and have a catch up. Just what we had hoped for. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the morning go so well.
Some pictures from the day are below and a little video here https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Jp6Rz9kYTwjob1xB/?mibextid=WC7FNe
We’ll be in touch with you soon if you left your details for the floral workshop.
Felbrigg Village Green – Pedestrian and Road Safety. Have you received your questionnaire?
The environment around the Village Hall requires urgent attention to ensure the safety of villagers and visitors. The B1436 is now a designated route for HGVs and experiences heavy traffic daily, posing a significant risk to the community. More details in the attached article.
The Village Hall committee has distributed a questionnaire to residences directly impacted by the traffic on the B1436 blind bend around The Green. Your input and support for this project are crucial. Please take a few minutes to respond to the questionnaire and return it to Tracy at number 15 or Carol at number 16 The Green as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can submit a scanned copy by email to contact@felbriggvillagehall.co.uk, or inform us if you prefer it to be collected.
If you live outside this area in Felbrigg or surrounding villages and wish to share your views, please do so by commenting below or by using the ‘Contact Us’ form on our website, and we will swiftly provide you with a questionnaire.

CAR PARKING AROUND FELBRIGG VILLAGE GREEN
Please note that parking on the lane around Felbrigg Village Green is not permitted. The lane is technically an unadopted road and therefore is not maintained by the local council. The upkeep of the lane is solely through the efforts of the local residents and is exclusively for their use.
Unauthorised parking causes erosion to the grass verges and degrades the hard surface, creating potholes and water run off damage, with the cost of repairs falling to the residents, not the local council.
Unauthorised parking causes delay and obstruction not only to residents who live on The Green and Catton’s Drift but to delivery and service vehicles. More importantly it also impedes the passing of emergency vehicles, potentially causing severe delay in attending incidents. We would therefore ask you to consider alternative parking in future so that you can still enjoy your visit to Felbrigg Village and the Estate.
Thank You for your co-operation.
NEW BUS SERVICE FOR FELBRIGG
We can’t wait to share some great news with Felbrigg residents, visitors and walkers. There is a new pick up point at The Green and drop off point at The Pond in the village, along with a pick up and drop off point at the Information Board in Felbrigg Hall car park. A big thank you to Sanders for making this possible!
You can find more details below in the timetable provided by Sanders.

MARCH 9TH 2024 MOTHERS DAY COFFEE MORNING
A great time was had by all! We were very lucky with the weather for our first coffee morning of the year, it was beautiful sunshine which made the air feel quite warm. Lots of Felbrigg residents, a few from Metton and some from the surrounding community attended, which was so lovely to see. The hall was decorated with lots of flowers and pretty tablecloths, the cake table laden with homemade fare and the kitchen buzzing as hot drinks were made and delivered to the tables.
We were charging just £2 for cake and a drink today with free top ups of both which went down really well, some thought they hadn’t paid enough so gave extra donations as well 😍.
Today’s raffle was geared to Mother’s Day with some pretty prizes especially for the ladies. Bunches of flowers, potted primroses, little glass vases and an unusual bottle shaped pottery money box with lovely sentiment wording were amongst the prizes. With Farmer Grahams star prize of a Lambing Day experience at Felbrigg Hall Farm for 2 adults and 2 children the raffle was really popular. Posies of flowers made by the committee were given to all the ladies and included some beautiful red and white camellia, pink alstroemeria, gerbera and verbena along with carnations, chrysanthemums, tulips and greenery.
Bringing the community together is the our aim of all the events we are looking to put on at the village hall this year, our lives are so busy now we all need to have a little down time where we can forget about our worries for a short while, or share them with those around us. There was a super atmosphere today, with everyone chatting and swapping tables to see friends and neighbours and have a catch up. Just what we had hoped for. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the morning go so well.
A guest left this comment on our Facebook page: Visited this event today. What a lovely atmosphere. A big thank you to all of you that worked so hard to make this a Mother’s Day special and it certainly turned out to be that. Johnnie & Jan.
We took an amazing £110 which will go towards future events PLUS we received an incredible donation of a brand spanking new, big hot water boiler for the kitchen 🤩. That will really help the flow of making hot drinks and be much better than our slow boiling kettle!!! We really were astounded by the kindness of the couple who presented this to the Chair during the afternoon following the event. The Village Hall committee are ever thankful and appreciate such generosity.
Our Community Cafe starts on April 6th and then every first Saturday in the month. We will bring different events and incorporate the coffee mornings, so keep your eyes peeled for details of the first one over on our Facebook page and here on the events page.
Some pictures from today below, spot yourself?
2023 CHRISTMAS GROTTY GROTTO REPORT
Visitors piled into the village hall, through a curtain of shiny silver ribbons surrounded by a balloon arch into Santas lounge. His piano was sitting up the corner ready to be played but we think he had had too much sherry and stayed fast asleep, in his armchair beside the fire, throughout the whole event. Nobody could wake him. Presents were stacked beneath the well-lit Christmas tree and disco lights flashed around the festively decorated room. In the were the village hall committee dressed as elves, in their green and red suits they welcomed visitors with a smile. Hot drinks, soup and food was being served from the kitchen. Other elves were rapidly filling the empty boxes from the advent tree with a constant flow of raffle tickets to keep the queues flowing.
A huge thank you to all the local business and people who so very kindly donated some absolutely fantastic prizes for our adult and children’s advent tombola’s. To all who came along on the day thank you. For those (and I think it was the majority) who had fun with our guessing games and advent tombola, you were all so keen to open the little boxes from the Christmas Tree to see if you’d won one of over 100 prizes. It was fabulous to see adults more excited than the children, collecting the boxes from the tree and then sitting at the tables to open them 😆 You all really made our day which whizzed past in a flash. £ xxxxxxxxx was raised from the day which will go towards putting on future events.
If you came along to our Grotty Grotto, did you enjoy yourself or win a prize? Leave us a comment below. Thank you, we really must do it again next year, will you be coming?
P.S can you keep a secret? … The elves have said they are bringing a real live Santa next time!!!
Here are a some pictures from the day, we even got a mention in the North Norfolk News!
