The Markham Clinton Community Project (MCCP) recently held a very well-attended music night at All Saints Church featuring the talented Stacey Lynn. Her wide selection of songs captivated the audience from start to finish.
Additionally, a Community Litter Pick held on Saturday 5th April was met with enthusiasm, with a welcome ice cream van visit at the church providing a sweet end to the day while restoring the beauty of the villages.
Upcoming events
Every Wednesday, there will be an Art and Crafts session alongside a Knit and Natter meeting from 10.30am to 12.30pm at a nominal charge of £8.00 and £3.50 respectively.

An annual Remembrance Service is set for Sunday 9th November. This special day will feature the Armistice Remembrance Service, followed by a community lunch with a distinctive twist. The event will see the return of the fabulous Stacey Lynn, who will sing popular 1940s songs during the service from 10.30am to 11.30am. Tea and cake will be served afterward, with the celebration lunch beginning at 12.15pm. Tickets for the lunch are priced at £10.00 per head, including entertainment.
In the summer, the project anticipates hosting another successful concert at Tuxford School following the sell-out event last year. Details will be announced on the MCCP website.
The MCCP team urges everyone to book their places for the quizzes, Pre-Loved Sale, and the WWII Music Luncheon soon, as spaces are limited and reservations help with planning each event.
All events are held at West Markham Church unless otherwise stated. The MCCP welcomes donations, helpers, and raffle prizes, and is grateful for the continued support which helps to preserve these historic buildings
