Thundersley Town Team are hosting a community picnic on Sunday July 2 free of charge.

The event will be held at Thundersley Common with access via Common Lane and will start at 2pm.

Councillor Colin MacLean said: "The idea is very simple, we encourage residents to pack a picnic blanket, bring along their food/drink and spend a couple of hours chatting with neighbours and meet new friends "We are proud that our group has been able to enhance the community spirit within the village since we started organising events and fundraisers.

"Parking is limited around the Common so please try to walk in on the day to avoid any disruption to the neighbourhood. The Town Team look forward to welcoming you to our fun afternoon."
