Lanterns Ready! Makers Ready! Scarecrows Ready!

Last Friday saw a number of small independent businesses in Bolsover getting involved in a random fiver Friday. Building on the success of the recent #fiverfest it allowed shoppers within Bolsover to join in and support the #totallylocally campaign to encourage us all to shop locally. Many thanks to Bolsover FiverFest for organising this event. The plan is for another event in February next year when we will see a fiver fest fortnight taking place which will run from 15th - 29th February 2020. Old Bolsover Yard will be supporting this and looking forward to joining in and supporting our local town.

If I Only Had A Brain

This weekend sees the Annual Scarecrow Festival taking place at Bolsover Parish Church. Starting Saturday 30th November and running until Sunday 1st December why not visit the cartoon themed scarecrows in the Church before heading into town to spot them around the shops in Bolsover. In keeping with our theme of reduce, reuse, recycle at Old Bolsover Yard we will have Humpty Dumpty coming back to visit us. Last year Sarah from Molly Felicity Designs had great fun creating our adorable Humpty Dumpty Scarecrow. 

Bolsover Parish Church will be serving lunches between 11:30am and 2:30pm with teas, coffees and homemade cakes being served all day between 10am and 4pm.

Come and join the fun.....all welcome
