Fruit and Veg Van in Garvald
Laura, who runs a mobile fruit and vegetable van which has been going to Morham, is now able to come to Garvald weekly. She will start her weekly visits on Thursday 21st August.
Her van has a built-in fridge that also has Yester Dairy products, fresh bread from company bakery and many other products.
She is a shop on wheels which can go to people’s doors to make life easier. Or a list and bag can be left at your door with orders/requests. Cash, cheque or BACS transfer is accepted and she will be getting a card machine in the near future. If you wish her to come to your door and/or place an order, you can text her on 07787418546.
Garvald Show – Saturday 23rd August

Here is the information Douglas needs to help take your complaint forward with the Data Communications Company:
- Confirmation of your full name and address
- Current Energy suppliers’ details, both electric and gas if applicable
- Permission for Data Communications Company to contact your supplier on your behalf

UPDATED: Garvald Show 2025 Schedule
Please see below for the slightly amended show schedule:
Garvald & Morham Community Ladies’ Night – Friday 1st August at 7pm
The next Ladies’ Night will be on Friday 1st August at 7pm in the Garvald Stables. We would love to see some of our neighbours from the wider community come along, too!
Please bring some snacks / nibbles / light bites to share as well as your preferred drink.
This is instead of a meal-based event which we have had in the past. This keeps things simple and takes the pressure off planning a little!
See you there!
