Sunflower Display Shows Solidarity with Ukraine Newark Castle 100

the Knit and Natter Group at Ollerton Methodist Church.

Dozens of residents of all ages attended free sunflower-making workshops organised by the District Council in August to acknowledge Ukrainian Independence Day – usually a National Holiday and day of celebration in the country. Workshops were held at the Lifespring Centre in Ollerton, the National Civil War Centre, Sconce and Devon Park, Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum, Vicar Water Country Park and Sherwood Forest Arts and Crafts Centre.

The Friendship Sunflowers display will be at Southwell Minster with free admission until Friday 10 February.

The Newark Castle 100 is a bike riding extravaganza which takes participants through the heritage of Newark as you ride alongside Newark Castle. There is plenty to get excited about, especially the custom medal that will greet all participants at the end of their ride.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday 14 May, and you can choose between three routes enjoying rolling hills through the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire countryside. Whether you're a first-timer or looking to try out something new, there is a route for you.

You can choose the long course which is 102 miles, the medium course which is 59 miles or the short course which is 33 miles. There is also a Junior entry option for 14-18 year olds. All courses will finish at the picturesque location of Newark castle, riders are cordially invited to the after-party at the riverside which includes food and drinks.
