To help the village celebrate together the weeks leading up to Christmas, St Mary’s Church has organised a Living Advent Calendar. During Advent there will be a newly decorated front window or garden for people to see, visible from the road, during the evening from 5.00 pm to 10.00 pm.

Adderbury does its bit . . .
This is a photo of tree planting at the Forest School area next to Vera Wood Close. It was a mix of Parish Councillors and residents with other volunteers from the Lakes volunteer group as well, so a good community effort and everyone enjoyed it. The trees were donated by Woodland Trust.
Congratulations to Chris and Sandra Shallis for regaining their rightful position in the Good Beer Guide 2022. The only one of our four pubs to achieve this honour.
