The fireworks display on Saturday (Nov 2) at the recreation ground has been hailed as more spectacular and colourful than ever, with the best finale yet.

Paul Rance, who organised the display, has thanked his outstanding team of helpers for their hard work and dedication and the village hall committee for their continued support. One villager commented: ‘Thank you so much. Such a lovely time had by us all – we truly appreciate all the effort and mulled wine.’ Another said: ‘Fabulous firework display in Marsworth tonight. Really good value for money - quite spectacular.’ Hotdogs and burgers were served by Rural Roasts and Marsworth PreSchool organised the mulled wine and sweet treats.

CURIOSITEA ROOMS: This popular tearoom at Pitstone village hall, which previously relocated from Ivinghoe, is now facing ‘a huge necessary increase in bills’ to around double what they were paying to high street rates. Owners Hayley and Sven are making a ‘heartfelt plea’ on Everything Marsworth for local people to use the café or lose it. ‘We would hate to shut the doors on this venue and we certainly don’t want to leave, or let people down with their jobs but if we don’t start to see an increase then we will be forced to close our doors at Pitstone and concentrate on our other locations until we find a new venue.’
