We love the new gate.The kissing gate leading from Abbey Walk into Trinity Churchyard has been restored, and a distinctive snowdrop design added to celebrate Trinity's role in the annual Snowdrop festival. Thousands of bulbs are planted on the grounds, and the former church is an essential venue for the celebrations. Alfred caught up with a couple who make magic with metal at their Long Cross business, Tom and Emma Arkle. And we speak with the chairman of the Trinity Trustees, Brian Watts.![]()

The Study Day is back, and it will be held on Sunday 11th February, coinciding with a street market. Snowdrop committee member Rachel Diment informs Alfred that this sale of specialist bulbs, some fetching hundreds of pounds, should bring additional income into the town's economy as snowdrop enthusiasts will travel from afar to purchase.
There will be a new approach to the festival this year. Still, the annual art competition, which encourages locals to create snowdrop-themed art and enter it for exhibition at Shaftesbury Arts Centre, is being paused.![]()
