Another great Family Festival!
Thanks to all who took part, attended and helped to make this year's Festival another great success!
The weather smiled on us again and the village was buzzing with more visitors than ever. As usual there was a packed programme of all manner of events to entertain the whole family.

Heavy Snowfall in Eyeries!
We do not see snow very often in Eyeries because of its coastal location close to the warm Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean.
On 2nd March 2018, the heaviest snow for a very long time (perhaps since 1947) covered the village and surrounding countryside. Fluffy, snowy bliss was enjoyed by all for a perfect short spell whilst much of the rest of the country endured the unpleasant side of heavy snow for much longer.
