Framlingham

Wednesday night's A Mid-Summer's Night Dream dress rehearsal in the Old Theatre Framlingham had an invited audience who were laughing and clapping.  Peter Hamilton Dyer's production is in the round with minimalist lighting and completely SOLD OUT. 

The Hamilton Bloodhounds at the Framlingham Horse Show yesterday.

JOBS A kitchen assistant and waiting staff needed in Framlingham.

♫ Yesterday's free Framlingham Ladies Choir concert had moved from St Clare's to around the corner at the United Free in Riverside.  Afterwards sensibly in this heat an attractive looking cold drink was served rather than tea.

A Midsummer's Night Dream in the Old Theatre Framlingham this month is no longer fully cast as they've lost their Hermia.

Framlingham last year.

The very excellent Framlingham Chamber Concerts are having July and August off but return Wednesday 16th September with the returning and equally excellent pianist Duncan Honeybourne. ♫

A Midsummer's Night Dream in the Old Theatre Framlingham next month is fully cast with local people but tickets available.

♫ Today's Fram Chamber Concert in St Michael's Church is Rose Gosney violin with Duncan Honeybourne piano.  Always enjoy these concerts and the added pleasure today of a cool venue.

There's a lot of wit and visual humour going on in The Cat's Whiskers a gallery recently opened by Hannah Garland on the Market Hill Framlingham.  We enjoyed our visit Saturday and we suspect you will too whatever the day.

Despite that there Ed Sheraton's upcoming youth club we haven't seen him in Fram this year ... maybe he has the Co-op deliver.

 JOBS  The Dancing Goat Framlingham needs staff.

Vehicles trapped at the Castle Street end of Double Street Framlingham.

We were a bit surprised that Roger and Darren were missing from last week's Tuesday Framlingham market (but then it was the day after a bank holiday).  Roger is now back and Darren will be back from his hols next week.

Quite a crowd for a roasting Fram Gala yesterday.

♫ Yesterday's audience particularly appreciated the Trio Élégiaque composed by Rachmaninoff when he was younger than the Collatus Piano Trio ... but only just:).  Next month's Fram Chamber Concert is Rose Gosney violin Duncan Honeybourne piano.

The 34th annual Suffolk Group show opened yesterday in the Old Theatre Fram running daily until the 26th.  Drinks and chatting 2:30-5:00pm tomorrow.

9:45pm last night in Framlingham The Station, the Railway and the Crown were closed, it was so quiet if it hadn't been for hivizzers resurfacing the Market Hill would have feared there'd been a zombie apocalypse.  Ironically back at Stately Terrace two grownup drunks were giggling and messing about with the wheelie bins.

It's always longer than you think.  The Cake Bench was a two table coffee and cake venue on the Market Hill Framlingham which closed in December 2024 because barista and cake baker Louise had received a job offer she couldn't refuse .... Louise has joined Fram Ladies.

Today nearly a dozen (11?  Yes, 11) organisations in the Framlingham Castle Community Rooms for a free History Fair.

Stephen Molyneux is the Green party candidate for Fram and Wickham county councillor.  His through the letterbox leaflet has this bar chart.  If you were to imagine either the Labour or Con bar was twice its 16% then 32% would be more than Reform's 23% but by eye twice the Labour/Con bar's height is still less than the Reform bar.  The Green and Reform bars are out of proportion to the others.  We think it should look like this ... just saying.
