    Scarecrow We hope that you are all keeping well! As you are aware, we are planning another Scarecrow Trail fundraiser for FOSS (Friends of Somersham School) this summer and need willing participants to create scarecrow displays!!!
    The deadline for entering a display is Sunday 19th July (don't worry, you don't have to have created the display by this date!) Please may we ask that displays are ready in time for 1st August!
    The theme this year is POP & ROCK STARS! and the trail will run throughout August, with maps kindly being sold again by the Community Shop and Duke of Marlborough pub.
    Whether you have or have not already expressed your interest, please may we ask you to reply with the following information:
    YOUR NAME:
    YOUR CONTACT NUMBER:
    YOUR DISPLAY CHARACTER(S):
    THE LOCATION OF YOUR DISPLAY:
    Email the FOSS team on fossfundraisers@gmail.com 
    Once again, those taking part in the trail will be voting for their favourite display so there is a prize up for grabs!  The returned map votes will also go into a draw, with the draw winner also receiving a prize, so please do spread the word to anyone you know who may be looking for entertaining things to do during August.
    We will need to know who your display is of so that we can get signs for your display printed and to ensure there are not multiples of displays in the same location.  The deadline for entering a display is Sunday 19th July (don't worry, you don't have to have created the display by this date!  Please may we ask that displays are ready in time for 1st August).

  • J A X & C O - top Suffolk band - The Duke, Saturday 18th July

    Saturday 18th July 2026 8:30pm

    Jax&CoJax&Co are a best-loved band in Somersham!! They began their musical adventure back in 2017 as a Johnny Cash Tribute act, with Jax and Mama D leading from the front with high energy performances and fabulous vocals, while Slim, Jim and Nos provide outstanding accompaniment in rhythm and instrumental embellishment. Now known for many great rock and Southern classics from the 60s and 70s, and their own original tunes. Often referred to as Suffolk’s hardest working band, Jax&Co have matured to become an excellent and entertaining professional ensemble - if you haven’t seen them play at Wheelie Fun Day, catch them at The Duke for a best-ever night to remember!!
    The legendary Jax&Co will be performing from 8:30pm at The Duke of Marlborough - playing their perfect mix of Southern classics, Johnny Cash and original songs. We look forward to seeing you all there for what is always a great night! :)
