Laxfield earlier

th 23 Jun 2022	Open Space Theatre is mini touring Women of Troy around near the coast at the mo'. We fancy the Laxfield Low House, saw Roughcast's A Midsummer's Night Dream there and it made an excellent venue ... though the wonderful Thorington Outdoor Theatre is tempting too.
we 25 May 2022	It was free to spectate and a family atmosphere for Ipswich Sport Karate Club in the Hacheston village hall Saturday. We particularly enjoyed ref Matthew Hyndman who when a tiny was up against a not so tiny quite rightly gave the tiny gestured hints. The Ipswich in the club's name is a slight misnomer as the club meets in Hacheston and next month in Laxfield.
th 19 Aug 2021	Yesterday(ish) power tools stolen from a garage in Ubbeston near Laxfield.
tu 29 Jun 2021	Roughcast have had to cancel just Wednesday next week's The Tempest at the Laxfield Low House, rest of the tour is still on.
mo 25 Jan 2021	Inevitably because of the lockdown no spring show from RoughCast this year but hopefully a summer tour of The Tempest. The itinerary around East Suffolk includes outdoor venues which is very promising as we much enjoyed the company's A Midsummer's Night Dream in the Laxfield Low House garden and 2019.
th 24 Sep 2020	As part of the bells restoration All Saints Laxfield stopped chiming the hours last week.
we 20 May 2020	Roughcast Theatre have given up on 2020 but set their programme for next year. It includes a summer production of The Tempest with some outdoor shows. We'll look forward to an outdoor Tempest as their Midsummer's Night Dream last year in the Laxfield Low House's garden was terrific fun and looked brilliant.
fr 15 May 2020	Two separate outbuilding burglaries in *Laxfield* mid-week. Is the virus stay at home prompting a mini crime wave or has someone poked the constabulary's press office or both?

fr 2 Aug 2019	Tonight yet again the Rendham Mummers will be defeating the Romans, this time at the Laxfield Low House.
sa 13 Jul 2019	Last night's A Midsummer's Night Dream at the Laxfield Low House was very Shakespearean with a laughing audience also eating and drinking, an audience dog taking exception to Puck sneaking past and a waitress who considerately didn't feel she could call out order numbers during the show.
th 11 Jul 2019	Roughcast Theatre are touring Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer's Night Dream around near the coast finishing with a dash over the channel for two shows in the Dordogne ... perhaps because it might be their last chance:) Tomorrow there's a free performance at the Laxfield Low House.
we 5 Jun 2019	June tends to be the month of village fetes, shows and open gardens. This weekend it's the free admission All Creatures Great and Small at Rendlesham and the Laxfield Open Gardens with cream teas and trips up the church tower.
sa 6 Apr 2019	It's the Laxfield monthly market this morning (first Saturday of every month)... there might be entertainment.
su 9 Sep 2018	For today's final day of Laxitude in Laxfield there's presumably what's left of the beer festival, a pop up vintage shop and 40s vocalist Lisa Day. As half time entertainment at the Ipswich Cardinals in July Lisa prompted dancing!
fr 7 Sep 2018	♫ Stuff to do around near the coast this weekend includes tonight a music quiz at the Framlingham Crown, the free Laxitude all weekend with Lyrical Jukebox and naughty Harleston boys Red Mecca playing tonight plus Maritime *Woodbridge* tomorrow and Sunday.

th 4 Aug 2016 Royal Oak	Carolyn and Richard Nichols' pop up teashop normally pops up at the Laxfield Royal Oak between weekend lunch and dinners but yesterday it was already popping up at midday for a Pub is The Hub presentation to pub landlord Mike Downer.
fr 17 Jun 2016	We last saw Common Ground Theatre in Aldeburgh where their four handed Justin and the Argonauts was well routined and getting plenty of laughs, especially from the appreciative Hertfordshire holiday maker next to us. The company's current show The Unhappy Medium has been on the road since the beginning of the month. The tour is winding down but it can be seen tonight in Laxfield and a Saturday matinee has been added to the three day run next month at the Sir John Mills Theatre Ipswich.

su 7 Sep 2014	♫ At the back end of yesterday's admirably free entrance Laxfield Day Out we managed to separately and without noticing drop our press pass and ear plugs (they let you stand closer to the pa) but some nice ladies pointed them out ... Suffolk eh? As you would expect Vix and the Kicks made the effort with three sets including some Joe Tex and Chic's Le Freak.
th 29 May 2014	Baron Du Dongleur has invited us to tomorrow's beer festival at Laxfield Low House, we suspect this might be prompted because Vix and the Kicks will be entertaining ... she does make the effort.

The electro swing festival Maui Waui starts tomorrow morning at Peak Hill Farm Theberton, in the afternoon there's a free family jolly on the Laxfield playing field and in the evening the Broadside Boys are on stage in the Meerkat Hall Saxmundham. Sunday the Framlingham soap box racing goes off road at the college ... busy weekend. ♫
fr 15 Feb 2013 fish and chip van	A fish supper for one yesterday from the chip van outside the Framlingham Station had added poignancy as the van's not coming back anymore. They will still visit Laxfield and this perhaps highlights that Fram now has three takeaways whereas fifteen years ago it was only the Silver Leaf and Greasy Gordon's which wasn't greasy it just alliterated and anyway wasn't open Thursday nights ... gonna miss the chip van.
mo 23 Jul 2012	What an nice change to have some half way decent weather yesterday for Mouth to Mouth's production of the musical Godspell in the Debenham Angel's garden. As always quirky, original and highly entertaining we were particularly pleased to see a ukulele move from the pit to centre stage. Mouth to Mouth's garden tour continues this coming weekend at Hoxne, Framlingham, Orford and Laxfield.

sa 24 Jan 2009	Reportedly the chip van had a fire at its preceding stop in Laxfield which is why it didn't make it to Framlingham Thursday.
sa 6 Sep 2008	This is Carl Wilson and Laxfield First Responders coordinator Laura Griggs demonstrating their pulse oximeter at this year's Brundish Makemerry. As their beat is very rural inevitably the ambulance tends to take longer to arrive so two responders go out on a call. Laura echoed Framlingham coordinator Leighton Page's observation that people are very generous giving money but what is needed most are more responders. If you want to help email Carl (remember you won't go out on your own:)..
su 17 Jun 2007	Events have been going on all week between the ten villages in this year's Inter Village Games. Some were physical including tennis and football, and some were not; but it all came together today on the Laxfield Playing Field. There were events for real littlerlys and not so litterlys ; and the blond littelry made a real commitment to the bat and bean bag race but got a bit slowed down by dropping her bean bag but no problem eh? The event that really calls for team work is the four on two planks and we thought the four girls in orange were going to do it but Weybread prevailed ... though stopping was a bit of a problem ... as it was in the three legged race. The crowd were cheering the egg throwing but we had taken time out to eat one of the rather meaty burgers and for us the highlight was the third place decider between Dennington and Metfield in the tug of war. The pull just went on and on and on with the crowd getting really involved. Dennington won but at the price of Jason (who used to tend bar at the Framlingham Station in Neil Pascoe's time) being very slow to get up, we think he might have hurt his ankle. A brilliant afternoon that makes you proud to be British!
tu 16 May 2006	Laxfield Low House (King's Head) des' dinners 55 Matt, The Brewer, Goddess Steph, Max, NaTCH, new chum John B and the tv presenter Peter Purves (who didn't know he was lunching with us) appeared to be irritating the barmaid ... though she seemed ready to be irritated. Very well kept Adnams and Fullers London Pride, NaTCH did very well with a Farmer's Lunch which is a ploughman's with some substantial slices of ham and plum chutney instead of cheese. Everybody else didn't do so well with luxury fish pie that contained raisins and the veggies arrived after The Brewer had finished his pie. Conversation included the interesting fact that it cost's twice as much for Max to have his nails trimmed as NaTCH's mother. (last visit ↓ subsequent lunch previous lunch)
we 8 Nov 2000	Laxfield Low House (King's Head) des' dinners 8 Despite a miserable day attendees were Andy, Spadge in a blue Ginetta, NaTCH and Malcolm. Malcolm combined his lunch with making a delivery of Low House Bitter which was sampled and approved. The food could have been hotter but the conversation flowed heatedly. "Does God exist?" was even briefly touched upon. Apologies for absence received from Hugh. (first visit subsequent lunch previous lunch)
