Take a fantastic musical adventure with an out-of-this-world car in this family-friendly blockbuster that audiences will find Truly Scrumptious.

They soon discover the car has magical properties, but trouble occurs when the evil Baron Bomburst desires the magic car for himself. The family joins forces with Truly Scrumptious and batty Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly Baron and Baroness and their villainous henchman, the Child Catcher.

Feb 22 – Brimscombe Ramble (RG)

Thurs 22nd February

February Ramble
Brimscombe – to be led by Allison Hope

(more information can be found on the poster here, a copy of which is also shown below)

Pictures from the walk

11 members walked just over 5 miles from Brimscombe, along the Toadsmoor valley, up through woods and a very steep road leading to Eastcombe.
We then walked through Bussage, Frith Wood and Brownshill before descending steeply across fields leading us back to our cars before driving to The Ship at Brimscombe for our lunch.
