On the site you will find a ‘What’s on’ diary of events, a list of suppliers and businesses available locally, useful links and some commentary from local user groups and individuals.

🎃👻 A ghoulish THANK YOU to everyone who joined in our very first Blen-Scare-Cro last week! 👻🎃

🧛♂️ Huge thanks to all our talented villagers who unleashed their Halloween spirit for everyone to enjoy! Your haunted handiwork brought chills and thrills to all who dared to wander through!
Swipe through these photos… if you dare… and let us know which creepy creations made you shriek with delight! 👀💀

Wow amazing
A huge, spine-chilling thank you to everyone who dared to grab a map and join in our very first Blen-Scare-Cro! Your haunting enthusiasm made it a monster success, raising a terrifyingly wonderful £287 to help keep the village hall alive! We hope you enjoyed creeping through the spooky displays as much as the wicked souls who crafted them, and we were thrilled to read the ghostly messages you left behind—your support and feedback warmed our haunted hearts.
Most importantly, our ghoulish gratitude goes to all the brave souls who entered and supported this eerie event. Without you, this fright fest wouldn’t have been possible!
And now, as promised, we reveal the ghostly victor...
THE MINIONS!
A hair-raising congratulations to RICHARD and LAURA on their spook-tacular winning entry! We’ll be creeping by soon to deliver your prize... if we dare! 👻🎃 ... See MoreSee Less

Well deserved winners - my favourite too!
Well done Laura and Ritchard
My favourite, laughed at the Ikea dungarees
Our Blen-Scare-Cro trail has been a great success with lots of people taking part.
BUT our next big event is Race night on the 16th Nov. Stable hands have already been busy out and about selling horses but they're still working their way around everyone in the parish. If you see them give them a friendly wave and get ready with names for your nags and their jockeys! ... See MoreSee Less
