As its #TBT we thought we'd share a picture from the very first Wheelbarrow Race. This was taken outside the Adam and Eve pub in Hay Street (now a private residence) and in those days it was two full laps of the village with a pint in each of the pubs!! 😨 Recognise anyone? #finalcountdown #almostthere #notlongnow #3daystogo #braughingwheelbarrowrace #14july #braughing #braughingbarrows #racingbarrows #villagefair #savethedate #englishtraditions

Phew, what a scorcher! ☀️Whilst we are all dreaming of days by the sea it seems the perfect time to tell you that the beach is back! Our friends at Pat Taylor Garden Services Limited have once again kindly donated the golden sand required to make our beautiful beach - thanks guys, you rock! 😎
It's a little bit soggy round the village today. Best to stay indoors and eat the leftover Easter eggs. Wheelbarrow race training can start tomorrow.... #braughing #braughingwheelbarrowrace #braughingbarrows #racingbarrows #villagefair #familyfun
