A message from the Common Grounds Team
We ran the cafe at the end of half-term and thoroughly enjoyed everyone’s company; our thanks to all the bakers, helpers and Playgroup for their support.
We’ll be running on 29 November but won’t open on 27 December – who needs more calories that day, anyway?
We’re spreading our wings a little bit in the winter months. On Saturday 6 December we’ll be helping support Thornhill Development Trust at Light Up Thornhill, which promises to be as much fun as ever.
To brighten the winter, we’re also doing something new –
A quiz night on Saturday 17 January 2026 from 7.00pm in the Community Hall, £5 entry to cover costs.
Quizmaster, George of local fame, will try to keep us all in order. We won’t offer catering but are just facilitating these social events. Bring your own drinks and snacks and come and show off your team’s knowledge! If everyone loves* this, CG plans to go ahead and run two more quizzes, on 14 February (*did you see what we did there?) and 14 March.
Our normal pattern of opening will continue, (last Saturday of the month), from Saturday 31 January, 10.30 – 12.30.
As a reminder, the cafe’s main aim is to promote community cohesion and provide a fun, inclusive cafe environment for the benefit of the people of Thornhill and surrounds. Cafe payment is by donation (or none) and once we’ve covered costs, any additional money will go into improving the cafe or go towards Thornhill projects; the cafe will liaise with TDT to ensure any spending is in line with village aspirations.
There is WhatsApp group for volunteers. Please email if you would like to be part of our group.
