Getting set for jigsaw fest, piece by piece...

2,000 MORE PEOPLE WITH CONDITION IN JUST YEAR

THE second Rutland Jigsaw Festival will be held over the Easter Weekend 2020.

In aid of Oakham in Bloom, the festival will take place on April 11, 12 and 13 in the Ballroom of the Victoria Hall, High Street, Oakham, from 10am to 4pm each day.

This year, there will be a competition for the fastest completed Jigsaw. The puzzles will be 500 large pieces so everyone is included. The teams will consist of two people and the event is sponsored by Gates Nursery, Cold Overton, who have donated a £100 voucher for the winning team.

There will be a dissectologist each day demonstrating the art of jigsaw making and the whole event is sponsored by Gibsons Games.

Jigsaw festivals are held nationwide and in Europe. Already, 200 jigsaws are assembled for Rutland Festival and the target of 300 will, hopefully, be reached by the end of March.
