Art Gallery
Each month a different artist is featured and their work is exhibited on our Hub gallery wall for visitors to view whilst enjoying a coffee in the Bookmark cafe. We occasionally feature one of the artists ‘in residence’, who will demonstrate their techniques to cafe visitors. The Hub gallery welcomes local artists to display and sell their work. We are taking bookings for 2021 so if you are an artist why not consider showcasing your talent via Melbourn Hub?

Finally – A Thank You The vision for the Hub was to provide a community space in the heart of the village that meets the needs of all residents right ‘on the doorstep’. As a registered charity the Hub has a duty to enhance the lives of people in Melbourn and the surrounding area. Melbourn Hub wants to sincerely thank you for your part in achieving this objective, creating the safe, busy, warm and welcoming place we have today. We look forward to many more years and extend an invitation and a warm welcome to all newcomers to Melbourn Hub.

The fete committee are now well in to the process of organising this year’s fete, and we are using farming as the theme. We hope to have some farming based exhibits which we will have details about for the next magazine just before the fete. The favourites will be there, including lots of stalls from local groups and craft traders. This is a perfect way to spend an hour or two discovering what is going on in our area. Melbourn WI will serve traditional afternoon tea, cake and sandwiches in the pavilion. Some fairground rides will be with us again this year, and for the energetic types there will be bouncy castles and zorb balls. In the arena we will be showcasing some local activities such as the Dynamos football team and Electrolytes Majorettes. We hope to have some dog agility competitions and the firm favourite of egg throwing returns. We will enjoy some live music from local groups and bands during part of the afternoon. Our ever-popular bar returns with some refreshing nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks including cask ales, Pimms and prosecco. A selection of tasty food will be on offer from a number of providers. We also have the big marquee where the competitions will be judged. This year we have introduced a few farming themes to some of the categories. Make sure you check out the website and see what categories there are this year and get creative. Also in the marquee will be a new Lego display made by the family of one of our committee. Unfortunately, this year we will not be having any classic cars but we hope to have members of a local scooter club attend the day. Also, for the mechanically minded, the popular lawn mower racing returns. The fete starts at midday and runs until 5 pm. As always we aim to produce a fun event that is good value for you, your family and friends. Any surplus money made will go to local clubs and activities that we have within the village. We are very grateful to our team of volunteers who help us with setting up for the fete, helping us with tasks
