Somersham has a regular four-weekly Mobile Library visit on a Thursday - stopping in the car park next to the Community Shop. You can reserve books from any other library in Suffolk and then collect them when the mobile visits - and return your books to any branch / mobile library across the county. You may also suggest possible new titles, and make reservations online or library staff can help. It’s free and easy to get a library user card - you can get a card at the Mobile Library! There’s also a HOME LIBRARY service.
TODDLERS AND CHILDREN
This is a great occasion for toddlers and children, lots of books to choose from - and as the Mobile Library is in the village for nearly an hour, they can settle down and have a reading adventure!

Everybody welcome! Please wear suitable clothing, footwear and gloves - a warm welcome awaits, and bags are provided.
Join us in Somersham on Sunday 14th June - be one of the thousands of people across England taking action to reduce litter, protect nature and create a cleaner, greener future for everyone - by keeping Somersham tidy! - https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/
Since Greening Somersham set up these litter picks a couple of years ago, volunteers have collected over 92 large black bin-bags of rubbish from around our village!
Please come along and join in!

Welcome to our June acoustic night!! Bring your favourite instrument and join in. Performed in and around the table, buskers format. All musicians and singers welcome. Very many talented people turn up, and enjoy a lovely atmosphere, like buskers’ evenings of old. 
Lovely to see so many happy people enjoying themselves and the ambience of our lovely, dear community-owned pub!
There’s a warm welcome waiting for accordions, banjos, double basses, fiddles, guitars, harmonicas, percussion, ukuleles, and a plethora of other instruments - not to mention plenty of a cappella and other singing. Everyone, from beginners to experienced musicians and singers, is welcome! ……it’s amazing to think that there’s probably been music and singing in our village pub for over 500 years!
