Can you help us raise £400 in 4 days?

🎄 Brize Norton Primary School🎄
“Brize Festive Dash”

On Tuesday 16th December we are asking all children to come to school wearing their most festive outfit – whether it is Santa, a reindeer or a Christmas present(!). The more imaginative, the better! KS1 and KS2 PRIZE to be won!

Then, at 1.30pm we hope you will join us for some festive fun as the children set off on their ‘festive dash’! We will be encouraging all children to complete 10 laps of the recreation ground to help raise money for charity!

Follow the link to donate:

Or use the QR code… Cash donations also welcomed on the day.
Families and friends are welcome — cheering squads encouraged! Come and soak up the festive atmosphere as the children complete their interactive run, pose for photos in our Grotto photo booth and dodge snowballs!

Whether you’re cheering, enjoying a hot drink at Humble Bumbles or throwing snowballs, we do hope you’ll come along to enjoy this exciting event at the end of the festive term.

🗣️ Your Voice Matters in Brize Norton

Two important opportunities are coming up for residents to help shape the future of our village:

📍 West Oxfordshire District Council “Have Your Say”
🗓️ Monday 25th November, 4 to 7pm
📌 Elder Bank Hall, Brize Norton

📍 Brize Norton Parish Council “Help Shape the FUTURE of Brize Norton”
🗓️ Wednesday 4th December, 7pm
📌 Elder Bank Hall, Brize Norton

With new housing on the horizon, this is a key moment to influence what surrounds us... green spaces, walking and cycling routes, infrastructure, amenities, and recreational areas that support village life.

💬 Social media comments are great for discussion, but they’re not counted in formal planning decisions. If you want your views to be heard, please come along in person.

Let’s make sure Brize Norton reflects what matters to us all.

🎆🔥 A huge thank you from the Brize Norton Village Committee! 🔥🎆

What a night! We were absolutely thrilled with the turnout and support for this year’s Fireworks & Bonfire Night. From the crackling flames to the spectacular sky show, it was a brilliant evening made even better by the buzz of our wonderful community.

Massive thanks to everyone who came along, helped out, donated, or simply cheered from the sidelines. Your support keeps these events alive and kicking. Special shout-outs to our volunteers, marshals, and behind-the-scenes heroes who made it all run smoothly.

📸 Here are a few pictures from the night. Credit to Amy Anderson for capturing the magic! If you’ve got any photos that you are happy for us to share, please get in touch.

Here’s to more village magic, shared moments, and sparkling skies. 💥

This isn't just a Craft Market, it's also an opportunity for our community to sell and buy some pre loved toys ready for Christmas. Get your table booked!

🎄✨ A Community Christmas Market Stallholder Callout! ✨🎄

Humble Bumble Café and The Elder Bank Hall are joining forces to bring a little festive joy to Brize Norton, and we would love our neighbours to be part of it 💛

📅 Saturday 6th December
🕛 12pm to 4pm
📍 The Elder Bank Hall

We are inviting local crafters, makers, and creative folk to book a table and share their handmade gifts, festive creations, and seasonal treats. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a small business, or part of a local club, this is a celebration of the talent and heart within our community.

🧶 The Humble Bumble Craft Club will be there too, showcasing their beautiful handmade pieces and spreading a little extra cheer. Come see what our hive of creativity has been working on!

🎁 Second Hand Toy Tables
We are also opening up space for families to sell gently used toys, no business sellers, just neighbours helping neighbours. It’s a lovely way to clear out the toy box and help others find affordable, pre loved gifts before Christmas.

🧺 All stalls will be indoors at The Elder Bank Hall, but if interest is high, we may open up outdoor gazebo spots too.

This market is all about community, creativity, and connection. More details coming soon, but for now, if you would like to book a table, we would love to hear from you 👀🎄

Update from our friends at Elder Bank Hall - Brize Norton 👇

Lots of lovely groups and events being held in the village hall ☺️

Wowzers. What a first week of September!

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome back Brize Norton Village Pre-School after their summer holiday, and to see the staff and their wonderful new children bring their daily buzz and happy vibes!

We also extend a warm welcome to Charlie, the new Brown Owl who is now running the Monday evening Brownies group. We wish her well in the new role. We’d also like to wish Barbie Thorne a long and happy retirement as she steps back from Brownies. There aren’t the words to convey the appreciation of all the families (and the wider community) for all of the time and dedication you’ve given to Brize Norton guiding over the years. A heartfelt ‘Thank you!’ from all of us at Elder Bank.

Now, with more space brings more activity!!!

We are delighted that Eyekandi Fitness have decided to run an additional weekly session in the new extension on Monday early-evenings. So the Hall really is alive!

Please also extend a huge welcome to Amy Yogi Cotswolds, who will be running Yoga sessions from this coming Friday.

We’re privileged to have so many returning groups each week, that we truly couldn’t do it without them. Please look them up, support them and maybe join them - we’re a home for all community groups and parties.
