Summer has arrived

You would be forgiven considering the weather we have seen over the last few weeks thinking that I'd gone a little crazy with this weeks post title however the end of last week saw the longest day meaning that Summer is officially here.

Did you notice a new arrival at Old Bolsover Yard? Thanks to the brilliant work of Aspire Gates our entrance way has had a bit of a makeover. We are over the moon with the new archway and wrought iron gates which really welcome visitors to the Craft Courtyard.

Bolsover WI

So last Saturday saw another Courtyard Programme event hosted by Bolsover WI.

The weather was kind to us with the sun making an appearance along with a flypast from the Red Arrows. I'm sure they were actually on their way to a display elsewhere but it was still fabulous to see them flying right over the Yard. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get a shot before they were just a trail of smoke.

I did however manage to take some pictures of the WI and the wonderful stalls that they had put together.

Bolsover Inner Wheel

Now, we move on to this Saturday with our next event which is another showcase weekend to find out what Bolsover Inner Wheel is all about.

Personally I'm looking forward to the cakes, jams, and chutneys that they are hoping to be selling.

For every bear that ever there was......

Looking forward a little further to the 6th July we are looking to hold an event that celebrates International Teddy Bears Picnic Day (yes! there really is one).

If you are a small business with a Teddy Bear theme​ and would like to get involved then please get in touch with Sarah on 07734820555. There are already lots of Teddy related activities planned but still space to squeeze in a little more!

Until next time

So we come to the end of another blog post. We look forward to seeing you at our Courtyard Saturday events. Don't forget though that we are open Monday - Saturday 10am to 3pm. Come and meet Damion, Gail, Nino, Maria, and Sarah to find out more about the businesses in the Yard. Make sure you leave enough time to browse the Gallery where you might just find THAT present and also pop for a cuppa and some cake in The Beehive Cafe.

​Until next time......
