Come and Sing! with Walton Voices.
Bell Farm Primary School, Hersham. Ever sung in a choir, or fancy giving it a go? A no obligation try out, no need to read music, no audition, and there will even be tea and cake.
If you're down at Shepperton Lock on a sunny day, keep an eye out for Donnie's. It's a brand new ice cream bicycle parked by the Ferry slipway, right next to The Ferry Coffee Shop. Proper scooped ice cream, and the best view in Shepperton to eat it with. It only comes out in good weather, so if the bike isn't there, just ask at the Ferry Coffee Shop counter. Named after young Donnie, who tried the first one and announced, "it's not for baby sisters." The reel's on our socials.
👀 Looking ahead

They sit at the top of the Shepperton business directory, alongside lots of other local businesses. If you are looking for a plumber, a pub or a dentist, that is the place to start.
