St Mary's Church, South luffenham, will be reviving the tradition of the feast week this year.
It is some considerable time, certainly over 50 years, since this has been celebrated.
There is a wonderful diary of events lined up, appealing to all age groups and tastes.
An art display featuring the work of well renowned local artist Pete
r Barker, music from the internationally acclaimed Mellstock Band, hog roast, walking treasure hunt and sports matches.
In order to make all this happen practical help is needed.
Volunteers are required to help with refreshments, stewards, and 'macho' types to move furniture and staging.
