The fun and festivities of last month continue into July with even more great community and local events taking place all promising a feast for the senses!  

Sunday 2nd July is Larks in the Park at Batford Springs.  This event just gets bigger and better every year and is completely FREE!  This year's star attraction are bound to be the donkeys, which will no doubt be popular with the little ones.

There's hardly time to catch you breath when the following weekend brings the fun of the Highland Gathering to our doorsteps as cabers, bagpipes, tartan and flings take over Rothamsted Park.  There is an entry fee to this event, but it's all in the name of charity.

At the same time in Wheathampstead they will be enjoying their annual Village Weekend with picnicing, live music and lots of family fun.

If you think the spectacle of Rothamsted Park resembling Braemar can't be beaten then head to the common on Wednesday 26th July for Britain's biggest mid-week car rally - Classics on the Common - walking is advised if you can!

For another great sight head to Stockwood Discovery Centre this month, where fans of previous Lego Brick Wonders exhibitions will be pleased to hear that they are back with a "Wonders of the World" exhibition beginning 22nd July.

Or for something calmer how about wandering freely amongst free-flying butterflies at Aylett Garden Centre's Butterfly Corner, which will be specially constructed this summer and open 17th July to 17th September?

Back to the festivities, and slightly further afield, this month you can find two very different festivals taking place at Dunstable Downs - Eid-al-Fitr on 2nd July, marking the end of Ramadan and the annual Kite Festival, which will be filling the skies with colour on 29th & 30th July.

And if that little lot isn't enough then have a look at our What's On page for lots more events taking place this month.  You won't be disappointed!
