Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Craft Fair on Saturday. The stall holders made a lovely display and we had great support from local residents. We raised a £156.00 towards the Town Hall Running Costs. Can I say a big thank you to the Hartismere students who did an excellent job of running the coffee bar and baking such tasty cakes. They were successful in raising some money for the school visit to Cambodia. Thank you to Peter for taking some great pictures!
We were think about running another event in November. Did the craft fair have an impact on other businesses in the town?
If you would like to get involved in a future event contact Roz Barnett at townclerk@eyesuffolk.org

You will probably be aware of the new development at Oak Crescent in Eye. The properties are going to be ready for occupation mid-May and I would like to advise that they are being advertised on the Gateway to Homechoice website http://www.gatewaytohomechoice.org.uk/Data/ASPPages/1/71.aspx . If you know anyone with a local connection to Eye who is interested in these properties please can you advise them to bid this week. The properties are subject to a 106 agreement which gives priority to those with a local connection to Eye (conditions apply).
As you enter The Bank in Eye, if it isn’t a live art class grabbing your attention, it’s the smell and sound of people enjoying coffee among a backdrop of all varieties of art that does.
Not only showcasing local talent, the venue has hosted works from all around Europe, and as far as Japan and Asia in its regularly changing art exhibitions. Read more →
