Community Events in and around Great Linford Parish
Welcome to this month's edition of community news, where we highlight the vibrant events and activities happening across our parish and in neighbouring areas.
An adaptation of J. M. Barrie's story about a boy who never grew up. The three children of the Darling family receive a visit from Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Land, where an ongoing war between Peter's gang of rag-tag runaways and the evil pirate, Captain Hook, is taking place.

Our volunteers visit schools on a weekly basis and listen to children read in a 1:1 environment.
On top of improving their reading skills, reading with a volunteer allows children to develop conversational and social skills as well as build their confidence.
In addition to offering much needed reading support for children within schools, volunteering can help to combat isolation and loneliness amongst the local community and our volunteers tell us their visits to schools are often the highlight of their week.
Indeed, lots of volunteers become invaluable members of the school community itself.

Following the success of its first Midsummer Festival last year, Milton Keynes City Council is holding its second family-friendly free Midsummer Festival.
On Sunday 22 June from 10am to 10.30pm, Midsummer Boulevard East will be transformed into Festival central for a free event inspired by midsummer themes of fantasy, folklore and fairy tales.
Music, street theatre, and summer solstice-inspired art will take place alongside free making workshops. Fantastic pop-up street food curated by Sophie Eats will be available throughout the day and into the evening.
During the Festival, Midsummer Boulevard East will be closed to traffic to allow festival goers and event production teams to use the site safely. Road closure signs will be in place to redirect motorists, and buses that usually drop off and pick up on Midsummer Boulevard East will instead do so outside The Point on Lower Tenth Street.
Follow @culturemk on X and @culturemiltonkeynes on Instagram for more.
Please note that while we’re excited to share these opportunities, these events and activities are not organised by Great Linford Parish Council. Details may be subject to change, so we encourage you to confirm directly with the event organizers for the latest updates.
Stay connected, get involved, and make the most of what our community has to offer!
