Carbrooke Heritage Group, to invite you to a Harvest Tea in Carbrooke Village Hall on 23rd September 2022 from 2-4pm.

As an important festival in agricultural communities, the Heritage group would like to celebrate Harvest, with afternoon tea, and a chance to chat with neighbours old and new. We will have photos and artefacts on display with a harvest/farming theme, a ‘Bring and Share’ Harvest produce table, and collection point for (non-perishable) items to donate to Watton Food Bank.

If you have any photos or artefacts to share, we would love to see them.

Please also let anyone else who may be interested know about this event too. The more the merrier.
We have started work to create a permanent heritage centre in the portacabin behind the village hall, and invite you to take a look at our plans.

The Village Harvest festival will be held in the church at 10.30am Sunday 25th September.

Find out more of our fantastic new project.

Heritage Centre for Carbrooke

Ongoing

Alternate Fridays in the Village Hall 2 – 4pm

5th August, 19th August,

We had a very successful afternoon, as we made a start on logging our memorabilia.

We managed to sort into different subject categories, although some of the items were difficult to decide which category it should belong in.

We all agreed it was great to actually get down to some Carbrooke heritage, and were surprised at quite how much we had collected over the years. I think we also got sidetracked by some of our findings!

• Church & Chapel

• School

• Agriculture

• Places & People

• Social Life

• RAF, War and Remembrance

• Books & Publications

Our next cataloguing date will be
