🚶‍♂️🌿 Boundary Walk 2026 🌿🚶‍♀️

We have changed the date of the Boundary Walk to better reflect the original purpose of “Beating the Bounds” of the village on Rogation Sunday, after the crops have been sown.

📅 Sunday 17th May
🕦 Meet at 11.30am
📍 Village Hall car park

Please bring a packed lunch.

⚠️ Shorts are not advisable as some of the fields we pass through contain nettles.

The walk is mostly flat and approximately 8 miles long, following the parish boundaries as closely as possible. The route is mainly off-road and takes in beautiful heathland and woodland, including:

🌳 Silchester Common
🌲 The edge of Pamber Forest
🍃 Bridles Copse
🌿 Bramley Frith
💧 The ancient water meadows and fish ponds
🛤 Odd Lane – an ancient Saxon track
🏛 Through the Roman Town and back to the village

🐶 Well-behaved dogs are welcome, although they may need to be kept on leads for short stretches where livestock are present.

We are also looking for a volunteer to help support this event — if you can help, please get in touch.

We hope you can join us for a wonderful day exploring the historic boundaries of our parish!

A quick reminder reminder regards our next event on Saturday 24th January. Our Burns Night Supper, always a lot of fun.

Our evening starts at 6.30pm where guests are welcomed at Silchester Village Hall by a Scottish piper playing jolly Scottish tunes!

Guests then take their seats as we look to the important ceremonial matters of the Burns Night Supper.

We start with the Piping in of the haggis, followed by the Chieftain’s address. We then bow our heads as the Selkirk Grace is delivered.

The ticket price includes a delicious two course Scottish dining experience curated by local chef, Peter Allison. (Vegetarian options are available)

An ‘Immortal Memory’ of the esteemed Robbie Burns will be given followed by a humorous ‘Toast to the Lassies’ and ‘Reply to the Laddies’.

The evening continues with some ‘robust’ singing of Scottish tunes, accompanied by local legend Robin Scott, graciously supported by the lovely Claire Eldridge.

Drinks are available from the bar. Wine can be pre-ordered for the table.

We have some other fun and frivolity planned before ending the night with the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

Carriages at 10.30pm@

Dress to impress, tartan positively encouraged!
