EXCELLENT FARES RELIABLE SERVICE September 2015

Flock to Hadleigh High Street! At 9am on 26th September the created sheep on the High Street will be joined by the real thing when a flock of over 40 woolly beauties from Bridge Farm, Chelsworth will make their way down the Town’s main thoroughfare to the seclusion of St Mary’s Church Yard for the rest of the day. The safety and behaviour of the flock will be in the capable hands of the farm’s shepherd, Ed Hawkins, who is not only Chairman of the East Anglian Sheepdog Society but also part of ITV’s Flockstar team. This unique happening will mark the last day of the Hadleigh Year of the Sheep celebrations which the town has embraced with gusto and enthusiasm following its launch at the Hadleigh Show in May. Since then there have been bunting-making workshops, concerts, talks, children’s activities, a Bo-Peep Picnic, Brett water rafting, quizzes, a film and sheep-making groups throughout the town and in Hadleigh schools. Once the sheep are safely grazing in St Mary’s church yard, the Grand Finale Day celebrations will begin in and around St Mary’s Church. Throughout the day, well known townsfolk will give costumed presentations entitled ‘We Are the Hadleigh Clothiers’ and there will be two lively performances in the Town from Morris Dancers. In the afternoon a children’s choir will entertain visitors and quiz lovers will finally hear which of the completed Ewe Know Quiz sheet qualifies for the cash prizes. Inside the church to enjoy at your leisure are three fascinating displays exploring Hadleigh’s Medieval Woollen-Cloth Industry, ‘We are Hadleigh Clothiers’ and Hadleigh’s Medieval Manor. Our thanks to all behind the scenes for making this community event possible and for giving Hadleigh Year of the Sheep 2015 such a memorable finale.
