The Great Spring Clean: Eyes on the Prize!

We have a big goal this year: winning the Best Kept Village competition! To get our village looking its absolute best, we have two key dates for your diary:

• May 5th | Shop Spruce-Up: We’re giving our local shop a little extra love. Whether you can spare an hour or the whole morning, help us scrub, paint, and polish our community hub.
• May 9th | The Village Tidy: This is the big one! We’ll be out in force across the village to clear litter, trim edges, and make sure every corner sparkles for the judges.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Let’s show the judges the pride we take in our home. For details of these – go to the What’s On page
