Village Day 2022 – Sunday 10 July

The Parade will leave Mount Road/ Station Road at 1pm and make it way along the High Street onto Marford Road and Brocket View onto the Marford Playing Fields. Due to arrive by 1.30pm.

Come and join in the fun. Many of our community organisations have stalls, chat to them, learn a little more about them. Meet up with friends. We also have entertainment and a variety of food and drink options.

it’s forecast to be warm, so stay hydrated, wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen, and if you feel poorly please don’t attend

Village Day is the culmination of this two day event. We couldn’t put it on without the help of the many volunteers in the community. A huge thank you to you for giving of your time and talents.

A massive thank you to our sponsors, Ayletts Nurseries, Farr Brew, RJ Dawes,  St Albans Van Hire, T&B Contractors, Tesco and Top Hat

There is no admission charge, any proceeds the Parish Council makes on the Saturday bar, and any donations, are fed back into our events.

Village Weekend Sat 9th and Sun 10th July – Volunteers needed

We’re looking forward to Village Weekend after a two year break, and hoping the sun will shine and everyone will have a fabulous time.

It’s run for the community by the community. Your councillors are all volunteers and this two day event takes a lot organisation. Have you got an hour or two either day you could spare to help out the stalwarts who traditionally ‘run’ it? from set up to close down we need help with many small jobs, such as coordinating the parking, directing people to the right point, marshalling, litter picking, serving refreshments on Picnic on the Meads.

If you’ve helped before, please confirm that you’d be happy to help again, if you’ve not assisted please get in touch.

You can speak to any of our events team or councillors but ideally Julia Warren or Anna / Andy Park who are coordinating this. info@wheathampstead-pc.gov.uk or call the office on 01582 832541.

Thank you!

    Traveller incursion at Butterfield Playing Fields, Old School Drive 22 June 2022

    Thank you to everyone for helping to bring the unauthorised traveller incursion to an end within 24 hours.

    To the local residents for their vigilance in reporting enabling a quick response. To the Police, HCC, SADC officers, Carter Jonas, Bailiffs, Bryan Lecoche Ltd and Cllr Annie Brewster. Various processes have to be undertaken and the negotiations at times tricky. Thank you to those who helped reassure our community, residents and businesses alike, and for ensuring our visitor knew they were not welcome and should not revisit.

    HCC have arranged for an environmental clean, their contractor has already visited the site to assess.

    The site has been resecured and we will look at how best to achieve a lasting solution

    Uninvited travellers at Butterfield

    We are aware that a number of unauthorised vehicles are at Butterfield Playing Fields/ Old School Drive and are working with Herts County Council, St Albans City and District Council and the police to resolve this matter.
