The White Bread Trust, a Ketton village charity, is funding a HOG ROAST that will be free for up to 400 residents of Ketton. Tickets will be issued from the parish office nearer the time. Serving of the hog roast will start at 12 noon at Ketton Sports and Community Centre (KSCC) where the bar will be open. We are hoping that the Rutland Morris Men will dance.

In the afternoon a village fete will be held at KSCC with free children’s games and other activities which will be organised by the scouts and guides. There will be some stalls selling books and a bottle stall. Any contributions for these stalls will be warmly welcomed at the parish office. See Ketton News on Facebook and Nextdoor Ketton.
