Charity Concert 🎵🎼 raising much needed funds for St Britius Church & Cancer Research

Information below on how to get your tickets👇

🎸✨ A VERY SPECIAL EVENING OF MUSIC ✨🎸

We are always happy to promote and support events that bring our community together, and this one sounds like a rather special evening! 🐝

Raymond Burley, one of Britain’s most experienced classical guitarists, will be performing alongside 14 members of the English Guitar Orchestra at St John's Church, Carterton.

And it isn’t just classical guitar either! 🎶

The programme will take you on a musical journey from Handel, Beethoven and Holst through to Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, Tony Hatch and Karl Jenkins, with plenty in between.

Raymond has performed extensively across the UK and around the world, as well as with some of Britain’s finest orchestras, including the Philharmonia, English Chamber Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra.

🍷 The bar will be open from 7pm before the concert and again during the interval, with cash and card accepted.

🎟️ Tickets are £10 for adults and £7 for children under 16.

Tickets can be purchased online here:

https://www.ticketsource.com/brize-norton-pcc

Or contact Carolyn Peach on 07786 405341.

There will also be a raffle, and most importantly, the evening is raising funds for St Britius Church general funds and Cancer Research.

So if you fancy an evening of wonderful music, a drink, a raffle and supporting two very worthwhile causes, this one is definitely worth putting in the diary.

Come along, support local, and enjoy something a little different. 💛

Please share and help spread the word! 🐝

🎉📸 Brize Bash 2026 Summer of Sports 📸🎉

What an amazing Sunday we had on 5 July as the whole village came together for Brize Bash 2026. The theme was Sports and the Rec was full of energy, colour and community spirit from start to finish.

We had archery, craft activities from the Brownies, Carterton Pickleball, running clubs, seated exercise with Annette Rainbow, Aunt Sally, an obstacle race and plenty more happening all around the field.

Local photographer Mal was out and about capturing the atmosphere, the action and those lovely candid moments that make village events so special. Thank you Mal for being there and for catching so many great memories.

Have a look through the photos in the album and enjoy reliving the day. If you spot yourself or someone you know, tag them and help share the fun around the village.

Brize Norton at its best. 🌟

🌾 Brize Norton Scarecrow Competition 🌾

The scarecrows are returning to Brize Norton 🧺⚽️

Everyone is invited to take part in this year’s Sporting Scarecrow Competition, running alongside the Village Summer of Sport Bash 2026. Whether you’re a family, a group of friends or a solo creator with a brilliant idea, we would love to see what you come up with 🎨👟

Sport themed scarecrows are welcome. Please display them at your home straight away and bring them to the Village Bash on Sunday 5 July by 1pm for judging. Prize presentations will take place at around 4.30pm. Entries are welcome from residents and non residents. Scarecrows must be safe, secure, weather ready and in good taste.

Entry forms can be sent to Carolyn Peach at [email protected] or dropped off at 52a Station Road before the day.

It’s always a brilliant display of creativity across the village and we can’t wait to see this year’s sporting stars 🌟

The Village Bash committee have been working behind the scenes throughout the year, planning this year’s event. We rely heavily on kind sponsors to contribute towards the costs of running the day, so that village organisations can fundraise without the worry of paying for First Aiders, additional refuse collection and entertainment. This is proving extra tricky this year.

If you know of any kind and generous, local business people who might be able to contribute anything at all towards the costs, please let us know. We’re always appreciative of a raffle prize too!

Many thanks to A.K Timms & Sons Ltd and Chancellors, who have already helped us along our way.

Sunday July 5th 10am to 4pm
