🚧 Heads up, Bonchurch!

We’ve had word that Southern Water are planning to close Shore Road from 22–25 June while they install a new water connection to a handful of properties around and including Under Rock — replacing an old Victorian shared supply that’s seen better days (haven’t we all 😄).

Worth bearing in mind if Shore Road is on your usual route. We’ll share any updates as we get them!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to Picnic on the Green 2026 — you made it something really special.

A massive round of applause for our brilliant musicians Lucan and 0-Dayz who kept the green absolutely buzzing from start to finish. 🎶👏

And thank you to everyone who took part in the raffle prepared by Kaz — your generosity goes directly towards keeping Bonchurch the beautiful village we all love. 💚

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers, and to every single person who spread out a blanket and made the afternoon what it was.

Watch this space — next up, Open Gardens on 4-5 July! 🌿

🎨 Bonchurch goes Open Studios this week, and the village is quietly buzzing.

Six artists. A short stroll along Bonchurch Village Road. And enough creative talent to make you seriously question what you've been doing with your weekends.

We're talking poured oils that fracture and flow like something alive, ceramics inspired by the island's own coastline, leatherwork crafted to outlast us all, paintings that find the ghost of Victorian Ventnor in every roofline, collages made from 1960s newspapers found under someone's carpet (yes, really), and theatrical visual works that have made it as far as Norway and Italy.

It's all here. It's all free to wander round. And most of it is genuinely, quietly, properly brilliant.
📍 Multiple venues along Bonchurch Village Road
📅 Running until Monday 25 May
🕐 11am – 4pm most days, with a special evening opening this Friday 22nd, 6–8pm 🌙

Missed the BCA AGM? Here's what went on...

It's been a quietly brilliant year for Bonchurch: record crowds at the Christmas carols, a thriving volunteers group, a beautifully refreshed Daphne's Corner, and a pond that's very much back to its best.

There are also some changes to the committee to share, including a new Chair and Treasurer.
