Framlingham

♫ A joy last year were the mid-week afternoon Framlingham Concerts..  Well attended including local school parties the zinging performances were from mostly younger players.  The shows return in March with Douglas Tang and asma Taimina and with a caffeine buzz from donated coffees we're really looking forward to their and other recitals.

We've only just noticed but like Framlingham the hardware shop in Wickham Market (once upon a time miss.chief) closed last year ... once upon a time Sax had two hardware shops.

Forward planning, the theme for this year's Framlingham Gala parade in May is Once Upon A Time.

Six years since John Grose née Potters moved out of Station Road Framlingham and it's still empty ... it'd be nice to see it doing something useful eh?.

Remember when Fram post office was flooded it popped up at the back of Bill Bulstrode's shop for months and months?  A bit similarly the library is popping up in John Ball's Gallery opposite.  Expect the library to reopen around 10 February and it'll definitely be open by the 28th because there will be cake.

Framlingham Library closed because of a collapsed drain but popping up at the Blacksmith Gallery opposite.

Framlingham Library closed because of a collapsed drain ... can drains swoon?

We've added actor Toby Jones (Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Detectorists) at last year's Flipside Festival in Framlingham to peeps inSuffolk.

Tonight in the Framlingham Sheds (they're on the Saxtead Road close by the turning for Charnwood) there's a peer support meeting for women exploring neurodiversity.

On Framlingham market this morning fishmonger Darren Smith was so busy serving he didn't notice community officer PC Amy Yeldham meeting and greeting but we did.  We suspect she'll be outside the Yoxford Londis 10:00-10:30am Thursday 29th.

James at Country Vision Framlingham suggested we have a Pic of the Month like The Times and then he gave us a pen.  Perhaps we should have given him a pen?  Either way here's the first three pix of 2026.
