Arlington Village Library

The Arlington Village Library is now up and running following the launch event

with tea and cakes on Saturday 6th June. 

Situated at the rear of St Pancras Church in the heart of the village,

the library is open during daylight hours  (except during church services and events)

and is free to use - donations to church funds are always welcome.

You may borrow a book to take home or read it in the peace and tranquillity

of the church or the churchyard. While you are in the church, please do take the

time to have a look around and read up about its history.

There are a wide variety of titles from fiction, non-fiction, reference and children's books.

We ask you to return the books within a reasonable time and to leave the library tidy.

If you would like to donate more books to the library, please call Josie on 01323 485153.

SUMMER CELEBRATION FOR FIVE VILLAGES

SUMMER CELEBRATION FOR THE FIVE VILLAGES 

Sunday 26^th July from 11.00 a.m.

Everyone from Arlington, Alciston, Berwick, Selmeston and Wilmington is invited to a summer celebration at Arlington Glebe Field (by the Village Hall) on Sunday 26^th July, organised by the churches in our Benefice.

• A Songs of Praise service will be held in the marquee at 11.00 a.m. - with favourite hymns sung. (If you are musical and would be interested in playing in a music group to accompany the singing please contact 01323 870512.)

• This will be followed by refreshments and the chance to picnic in the field from about 12 noon. 

• There will be games such as Boules and rounders (bring your own games if you have any), Wellie throwing  and other attractions including vintage tractor and wagon ride,  a Treasure hunt for children and a have-a-go art Table.

• As part of this event we are trying to organise a show of vintage or veteran cars in the field – if you have one and can bring it along please let us know. Or perhaps you have some other attraction that you would like to bring. 

We hope that you can come and make this a great celebration.
If anyone would like to help with the planning of this event, please email Josie or call the number above.
