Silchester Fete - 6 September 2026 (OK, Country Fayre if you must!) - A lovely day, full of activities with the market stalls, arena events, dog show, food and drink, vintage cars and so much more. Well done to all involved.

The Calleva finally won against the Plough this year in the annual cricket highlight on a super summer day, raising charity funds for pancreatic cancer research.

G-HIOW Air Ambulance on the Common - added interest for those at the July Market.

Silchester Community Choir in concert - 27/28 June in the Village Hall, supporting Guide Dogs.

The talents of local artists were on display in the Mission Church in early May.

In the church on 5 May there was an opportunity to try out the hand bells and the main bells were rung in tribute to Steve Spillane.

Village Hall Centenary celebrations - 12/13 September saw a wonderful display of the history with displays and performances by current users of the Village Hall.  On Sunday morning a Centenary Songs of Praise gave thanks for all involved in our amazing village community and was followed by a talk by Mike on the history of the hall’s first century.  Tadley Band’s gifted musicians  supported both Saturday and Sunday events.

Remembrance Sunday - a very good turn-out at the War Memorial on a foggy morning.

Bonfire and Fireworks - a welcome return after eight years! Can it really be that long?  Many thanks to Silchester House for hosting us again and thanks and congratulations to Silchester Association for their efforts to bring the event back.

Autumn half-term and the now-traditional scarecrow trail around the village.
