Darley Playing Fields Association is inviting the community and visitors from further afield for wine, cheese — and of course, a game of petanque.
Taking place this Saturday, May 21, from 2pm, it will be an opportunity to see the work that has gone into creating Darley's new community facility at the playing fields.
Association chairman Mark Simpson said:
"It’s aimed at the local community and will be a relaxed affair with the aim of getting the availability of petanque known and getting people to have a go."

The courts have been available to play on since Easter, with a few informal teaching sessions taking place.
They were created by the playing fields association with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, while Darley and Menwith Parish Council supported the work and funded two benches by the courts to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee.
