The Romans return to Silchester and dig open days 16/17 July - lots of fun as well as the chance to learn more about our local heritage!

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!

Silchester  Music Festval 2010 - a lower key event in the Village Hall just for this year but still really enjoyable with  Frottage,  Fake the Attack,  Future and Dead Mask Club providing the entertainment.
Pirates 2010 a well established annual event now!  Thanks to Jon for taking the pictures while I was in Finland.  Also entertaining the diggers were Kennet Morris Men and Fleet Morris on 5 July.
Fete 2010 - 12 June on the Common with many of our usual favourites, joined by  Pan Everest, the superb young steel drum musicians from Basingstoke.

More Morris Dancers!  Shinfield Shamblers, Basing Clog Morris and Fleet Morris performing outside the Calleva.
15 May - Fun Run 2010, lots of pictures!  Set-up and supporting organisation; followed by runners getting ready, starting and around the course and finally  finishers as they cross the line and the awards presented by  Tony Stanley, Chairman of the Parish Council
The Silchester Trail, funded by the National Lottery and local councils, was launched on Bank Holiday Monday when about fifty locals and guests donned boots and strode out to explore.

 Palm Sunday in Silchester - donkey and Roman soldiers as usual but it was too wet to use  the amphitheatre so the walk ended with a service in the Church this year.
A new plaything for our youngsters!  A climbing rock has been installed and become an instant favourite as school comes out!
Valerie’s 90th birthday on 21 February was celebrated by the village with friends and family at a big party in the Village Hall on Saturday, a birthday shared with Steve who has a few years to go yet!
New Year 2010 - welcomed in at  the Calleva and celebrated by the Kennet Morris Men
