We have a great line up for the "Big Country Picnic" on the Village Green there will be something for everyone. Key attractions are a demonstration by Sefak Karate club of Leavenheath showing the art of self defence in the arena; our local talent show will feature musicians, dancers, and singers on a specially prepared stage in front of the pavilion. There will be a circuit for model electric car racing which is fast and furious. The animal sanctuary Sesaw will be bringing some petting animals for the younger children, and there will be advice on feeding your small pets.

DJ Starr will play music through the decades of the Queen’s reign. We also have a special treat for the children a magic show presented by Magic Marvo with balloon animals; bubble machine and magic tricks.

If you have a classic car then bring it along and dress in the fashion of the period; a bottle of Champagne for best turned out car and occupants will be awarded.

There will hopefully be a guest appearance from an ex Speedway World champion. The Ipswich Witches and Mildenhall Fen Tigers speedway will bring some of their bikes to our event, so if you want your photograph taken on a speedway bike this is your chance.

There will be competitions:-

Children’s races will be organised by the team from Ladybirds/beavers/cubs/scouts for all ages, and will be a chance for all children to take part and win Jubilee medals; we will have egg & spoon, sack race, 3 legged race, and wheelbarrow race.

A Large number of tents will be erected to give us cover in case of inclement weather and tables decked out with red white and blue will be available for you to sit at if you prefer to have your picnic, and for those of us not so energetic there will be a Quiz; 60 questions for 60 years.
