Whatlington Pageant
Thanks to the kindness of the Apthorp family the Whatlington Pageant will be returning to Leeford Farmhouse
on Sunday December 22nd at 3pm
Owing to some of the leading organisers being unavailable this year, John C has stepped in to take a lead on the
planning and delivery of this memorable event. Having himself first taken part in the pageant nearly 50 years ago,
he has seen it through several version, routes and locations over the years.
This year the pageant will start in the church (Nazareth), proceed via the upper car-park behind, where the
shepherds will gather round their fire and finish at the barn (Bethlehem). We will be accompanied by member of
Cranbrook Band, to whom we extend our thanks for their support.
Obviously to make it all work we need quite a few participants in a variety of roles:
Children – young ones to play the various parts, older ones to do readings
Adults – also to do readings; supervise their offspring; marshall between locations, especially the
short distance alongside the road, manage the fire pit.
Would any parents/children looking forward to or willing to help pleased contact John via 07788-416903 (ansaphone)
or email johncrouch56@outlook.com.
There will be a meeting the weekend before for children and their parents to receive costumes etc.
This will be in the church on Saturday 14th @2pm.
Please note the private upper car-park, behind the church will be NOT be available on the 22nd.
Please use the Village Hall Carpark.
We look forward to you all joining what has been for many years, a highlight of the village calendar.
