Welcome to Silchester - the ancient Roman city of Calleva Attrebatum, in north Hampshire, Hampshire Village of the Year for 2008, South England Village of the Year 2009  

This site is frequently updated to record village life, look in regularly to see what has been going on!


2012 kicks off with a party in the Calleva and the traditional new-year visit by the Kennet Morris Men at lunchtime on 1 January, dancing, music and beer - not necessarily in that order!

Carols in the Calleva - a full house on Monday 19 December.

Christmas Disco in the Village Hall.

December already and Christmas fast approaching! The children’s Christmas party in the village hall, the Barnardos Toy Run and St Mary’s Christingle Service all took place over the weekend 3/4 December.

Sunday 27 November saw a huge crowd outside the Calleva for a Christmas market and to join in singing carols after Robin Scott turned on this year’s tree lights.

Fish was 50 on Tuesday and taken completely by surprise on Saturday evening by a party organised by Sonia, attended by lots of people including some who Fish hadn’t seen for years!

Rembrance Sunday at the War Memorial - another good turn-out.

Despite weather concerns earlier in the week, 5 November Bonfire Night was a great success with a huge crowd enjoying the bonfire, fireworks and all the supporting essentials including pumpkins, burgers, mulled wine, crazy cakes and a bride in pink wellies!

8 October - Group SAX musical evening in the church, a sell-out concert much appreciated by everyone attending.
