Cultural Exchange with Ponches-Estruval in France

Dompierre

Ponches

Through Interreg funding in 2008 we are 'twinned' with the parish of Ponches Estruval in Picardy, France.

Josie Tipler and Anne Howard from the Arlington Arts group visited in 2010 and returned this year with Jim Tipler, musician from Arlington, to Ponches to take part in their Festival De Musique et D'Art.

Here are some of the photos.



We will invite some French musicians and artists from the region to visit our next Arlington Arts Festival - several musicians, artists and representatives from the region came to our festival in 2011.

Bluebell Walk - Plant Stall & Refreshments

Bluebell Walk - Plant Stall & Refreshments

It's coming up to that time of year again when the members of St Pancras Church run their annual Plant Stall at the popular Arlington Bluebell Walk. This is one of the biggest fund raising events of the year and is the culmination of weeks of preparation of seeds being grown and cuttings being taken - there will be a great selection of plants at very reasonable prices.
Please come along and support the stall from 11th April to 19th May at Bates Green,  Tye Hill Lane, Arlington
