OUR NEXT EVENT - CHRISTMAS LUNCH
BROOM HALL HOTEL
THURSDAY 5TH DECEMBER
Our Christmas lunch will be held at Broom Hall Hotel, and is entitled “Paris - Sydney – Watton”
We will welcome Kyla Sørensen who is currently the curate at St. Mary’s Parish Church Watton but has lived in the town for two years now. She has led a varied life - from a young age studying and later working around the world, and living in a multi cultural home. She will recount some of her more interesting stories and reflections (some funny, some not so much) on her journey towards ordination in the church.
Helen Hornagold of Made in Norfolk will again be exhibiting her range of candles, creams and soaps.
