Regional housebuilder Allison Homes East has become one of the sponsors for the 2024 Thorney Festival, which will take place near its Abbey Park development in the village.

Abbey Park is situated off Deer Park Way and consists of 68 three and four bedroom homes, which all feature solar panels as standard.

Thorney Festival is an annual event aimed at bringing the local community together. This year the event will take place over the course of 16 days from 15th September to 2nd October and will include a blues evening, a dog show, a junior fun run and a classic car display.

The contribution from Allison Homes will be used to support the dog show expenses and provide a prize for the festival lottery.
