2026 Dates for the diary

Thursday, 30th April – Village Hall Talk – Saving the Frome Salmon from Extinction by Charles Dutton – 7.30 start, bar open at 6.30

There are 200 true chalk streams world-wide. The Frome and the Piddle are two of only six such rivers world-wide that STILL have a run of Atlantic salmon – but their numbers are declining catastrophically.

Charles is part of a group who, over the last seven years have started a “Noah’s Ark” project in an attempt to preserve our chalk Stream’s dwindling fish stocks.  Come and find out how they are doing it. The dedication and ingenuity of this team of volunteers is truly inspirational. There is no charge for this talk.

Sunday 3rd May – Sydling Duck Race

Sunday 24th and Monday 25th May – Open Gardens.  From 2 to 6 pm on both days plus tea and cakes in the village hall. Only £6 a ticket to cover both days. Under 16s free.  Lots of wonderful gardens to see, large and small. (Sorry, but no dogs). 

Just to give you a flavour of our annual event and our beautiful gardens , here’s a virtual browse round Open Gardens 2020, filmed when the event was cancelled because of the Covid pandemic.
