💖 CHARITY STALLS
We believe that it is our responsibility to re-pay the community for all the support
we’ve enjoyed over 25 years. So we have always made it our responsibility
to help charities with a special offer. We don’t give money but help them to help
themselves by giving them a very special deal on the price of a pitch. We particularly like having the smaller charities with us. For instance every year a husband and wife raise money for a special school to have an outing and any money left over is used towards much-needed equipment. Speak to one of our team, or phone us on 07852 70 70 74.
🗺 HOW TO FIND US
You can find us on the A507 just outside of Baldock. Coming from the A1 take the second exit from the ‘Tesco’ roundabout, follow this road to the next roundabout and then turn right. We are on the right just up the road.
📍For Sat navs use SG7 6RD which will bring you close enough to the field.

🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Starring Kym Marsh (Coronation Street, Waterloo Road, Abigail’s Party) and Lisa Faulkner (Holby City, Murder In Suburbia, John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen), this gripping new adaptation throws you into a world where trust is fragile, friendships are tested, and secrets lurk behind every closed door.
Written by acclaimed author, journalist and broadcaster Rebecca Reid, this fresh retelling updates the original story for the age of social media, delivering a sharp, suspense-filled tale of ambition, obsession and the desperate need to belong.
📖 THE STORY
Allie is a recently divorced mum, juggling single parenthood with the launch of her tech start-up. When she advertises for a lodger to help make ends meet, the charming Hedy seems like the perfect solution. But as their lives become more entwined, boundaries blur and the arrangement begins to unravel in unsettling ways.
From the producer of the hit stage adaptation of The Girl on the Train, Single White Female promises dark humour, stiletto-sharp suspense and plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments.
