The Pimms and Prosecco flowed throughout the evening with nibbles to soak it all up.

The Handbell Ringers of Great Britain celebrates it’s 50th anniversary this year with a specially designed bear which is travelling around the country to as many events a possible. We think he may have enjoyed the festivities a little too much!!
