Rendham

It's the winter solstice the Monday after next starting the days getting longer.  Perhaps inevitably and certainly regrettably the Rendham Mummers have cancelled their winter solsticeshow but Covid permitting will be back 21 June next year for their good humoured chaos.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that In Suffolk you are never more than five yards from an artist.  Last night a BBC 2 doc about near the coast's very significant paint botherer Maggi Hambling, more than once the non-surgical mask was pulled down.

  It'll be the longest day tomorrow week but no Rendham Mummers.

At yesterday's Rendham Mummers' The Battle of Pipney Hill Revisited every time the warrior queen arrived on her chariot the band went ♫Da da da da Daaaaah da♫ tickling our memory buds.  It was only on Boudicca's third entrance we realised it was Chariots of Fire.  Passing the bucket after the usual magnificently chaotic show the Mummer's raised £444.86 for Lighthouse Women's Aid.  Next Mummers show for the winter solstice Sunday 22 December on Rendham's green at the junction of Sandy Lane and Chapel Road ... Romani Ite Domum.

Tonight yet again the Rendham Mummers will be defeating the Romans, this time at the Laxfield Low House.

The Rendham Mummers will again be defeating the Romans tomorrow night, this time at the Sibton White Horse.

So as to not clash with the Rendham Mummers on Friday Studio 90 has moved the live bronze casting by Simon Bowbar and Emmie Ray forward to 6:00pm

Like we've said before it's the summer solstice Friday so the Rendham Mummers will be presenting The Battle of Pipney Hill Revisited at the Sweffling White Horse .. Death to the Romans!

Yesterday amidst passing cyclists (who stopped), motorbikes and drivers (one of whom informed the crowd The police are on the way) the Rendham Mummers in their usual chaotic manner delighted.  The post performance buckets go to the Suffolk and Norfolk charity Fresh Start.

Almost too sunny yesterday on Framlingham market and in the evening the Rendham Mummers were crammed into the garden at the back of the Sibton White Horse.  We know we're not supposed to like the French with their nice food, world cup and Tour de France but we so enjoyed last night's Gallic aristocrats we had to suppress a Allez les bleus!

With our relationship with the French currently being a little tetchy, the Mummers will transport you back to a time when our relationship with the French was errrrrr still tetchy.  The Rendham Mummers at the Sibton White Horse 8pm tomorrow evening with Brothers In Arms, you'll l♥ve them and it's free!

To prove us wrong that everything happens in June Rendham have their summer fete Saturday week 7th July.

Tonight a private view at Studio 90 Rendham and just up the road another tomorrow at the Printroom Studio Sweffling.

I:00pm tomorrow in Great Glemham artist and Rendham resident Maggi Hambling will open the Alde Valley Spring Festival and you can be assured she will amuse.  From 10:00am it's the Makers Market in the Framlingham Unitarian.
