- It’s a big month in Stur with the Cheese Festival fast approaching (14th and 15th of September), so there’s lots to make a note of for the town’s busiest weekend of the year:
- All SturAction’s shops – The Boutique, 1855 and The Emporium (which incorporates Dapper Chaps, the Art Gallery and the Furniture Shop) will be open 10am to 5.30pm during the two days of the festival.
- The Boutique of preloved ladies and children’s clothes is currently holding a Summer Sale. You can pick up Any Five items for £10 – including shoes and handbags! (NB there are some excluded items in the glass cabinet and upstairs)
- The Museum will be open throughout the Festival weekend, 10 til 5pm
- There will also be milling at the Mill form 11am to 5pm both days.
- Harts of Stur are open throughout the weekend, and they have set up a busy schedule of demonstrations along with in-store offers and goody bags
- All our pubs will be open through the evenings so do wander up into town to continue the fun – or enjoy a saunter over the bridge to The Bull, which is also offering wild camping to anyone wanting to stay overnight and there’ll be live music from Vanilla Radio on Sat 14th from 8pm
