While most groups, services and hospitality venues have restarted after lockdowns, it is clear that numbers returning are fewer than pre-pandemic.

So, Chilcompton Parish Council, with funding from Somerset County Council, is putting on an open day on Saturday, 26th March at the village hall and is inviting local groups, hospitality and services to come along to promote their activities with a view to recruiting new members or clients.

There will be attractions for children, including a caving experience, face painting/tattoos, an entertainer and refreshments.

All villagers are welcome to bring the family along for a free and fun afternoon from 2pm – 6pm. More details from: 01761 232774.
