Bighton & Gundleton Community

Welcome to the home page for the communities of Bighton and Gundleton.
A resource for the residents of Bighton and Gundleton.
You can find under the headings to the left information about local services such as the Parish Council, the Village Hall, All Saints Church, together with details and statistics about the local community and local organisations.

Throughout the year there are a variety of events taking place such as the Village Fete, the Flower Show together with shows from the popular "Hog the Limelight" scheme.

The 2009 Bighton and District Flower Show will take place on 25th July. Further details can be found in the Events section.

2006 saw the launch of the Bighton Village Hall Monthly Draw. This initiative seeks to raise funds for the Village Hall and is open to residents of the parish. Proceeds are split 50:50 between the prize fund and the Hall funds. Further details can be found in the Village Hall section.

You may have noticed some changes to the website. Apart from the obvious cosmetic changes, we have included a more user friendly calendar for the Village Hall together with an interactive map for its location. We do still get calls asking where the Village Hall is!

Come in and have a wander around the site - you might be surprised to learn what's happening in your village!

Inter-Village Quiz

The annual quiz challenge between Old Alresford and Bighton will be taking place on Saturday 14th November. This year the quiz will be hosted and organised by Bighton and will be held in the Village Hall. We aim to produce questions which are not too challenging and which help create a fun, competitive evening in which everyone can participate.

If you fancy upholding the honour of Bighton then contact Geoff or Jill Buss on 01962 734853

New Play Area

You may have noticed that the Village Hall now has an extended car park which should now remove the need to park on the road on those occasions when we have a 'full house'.

The new play area now has brand new equipment and fencing. Many thanks are due to those that have given freely of their time to make it happen.

Bighton Fete
The ever popular Bighton Fete was held on a sunny Sunday on 13th September 2009 on the cricket pitch/rugby field. The Fete saw the return of many favourites such as the Dog Show and Goldwing rides together with an area especially dedicated to children.

Initial indications are that the Fete Committee's efforts resulted in takings that were up on last year.

Country Music Returns to Bighton Village Hall!

From January 2009 Country Music will return to Bighton for further information see the Events section or call 01962 711343/07780 722317
