Crafta Webb, the 'Lost Hamlet' local community movie, has become a big part of our lives in Bredwardine and Brobury. The premiere of the Crafta Webb film was well attended in November.

If you were involved in the project and would like to attend, please contact Jean on 01981 500 477 to attend! Space is limited. more...

Several very-satifised customers told me that not one needle fell from their trees despite being exposed to the central heating. What a testimonial! more...
