Harringworth Village Fete will be held in the grounds of the Manor House on Saturday 25 June (1 – 4 pm) with a Car Boot Sale and Car Parking nearby. The Fete promises to be better than ever, with new attractions including exciting children’s activities, market stalls and plenty of refreshments, including Pimm’s, a Barbeque and Afternoon Cream Teas.

As a bonus for the Fete this year the newly restored Flying Scotsman train will ‘Steam’ over the Viaduct prior to (10.00am) and after (8.00pm) the Fete. Harringworth is planning a warm welcome including car parking and refreshments in the village. There will be a great view of the steam train from the village and for those wishing a higher vantage point the walk from the centre of the village will be a better option than stopping on the narrow local roads. The train will also travel over the viaduct around 10.00am in the morning and 8.00 pm in the evening of Saturday 4 June.

To complement the historic journey of the Flying Scotsman there will be an exhibition in Harringworth on the history of the famous Harringworth Viaduct which was opened in 1880 and spans the Welland Valley with its 82 magnificent arches as featured on the Harringworth Village website

Updates on all the events in Harringworth this June will be posted on the Harringworth Website www.harringworthvillage.org village Facebook Page (Harringworth Village News) and Twitter page (@harringworth).

The Flying Scotsman’s journey from London to York is already fully booked. Further information is available from the website http://www.railwaytouring.net/uk-day-trips/the-yorkshireman-1

The Exhibition in the village on 4 and 25 June ( the same day as the Flying Scotsman) tells several stories including: the Viaduct, the Navvies, the trains, the village historic photos, the quarrying and associated trains etc plus surrounding stations on and off the Kettering to Manton railway. A taster of the Exhibition can be seen on the Harringworth Village Website as these examples show.
