Beenham Village Events

Beenham Village Events (BVE) is a community organisation constituted under the auspices of Beenham Parish Council for the purpose of organising social and fundraising events for the benefit of residents of the parish of Beenham. The group has helped to organise many popular Summer Festivals and village Christmas Tree celebrations. Most of the events on this page are organised or coordinated by BVE; others are taking place in Beenham and we hope that local people will participate and enjoy them.

Events in 2024

The BVE committee is looking at events for this year and will publicise them in due course. The monthly Villages' News magazine has a list of activities each month. Please do support the events and offer to help in preparing and running them. What a great way to meet others and enjoy our beautiful village.

Decorate an Easter Gate
Beenham Village Events invited villagers to take part in a project to Decorate an Easter Gate again this year. All that was needed was to add some colour to the gate or front door in time for Easter. Some decorations were with ribbons or bows, and some were cut-out cardboard Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. It was an attractive way to celebrate the season!

Beenham Church Pancake party with pancake races, silly games and quizzes. Also yummy pancakes to fill and eat. Tuesday 13 February 2:45 to 3:30 in the Victory Hall.

Greener Beenham
We all know how important the wider environment is to our health and well-being. Beenham residents are supporting a number of initiatives:

Take those difficult to recycle items along to the monthly market in the Victory Hall

Buy your eggs from local egg producers at the Victory Hall on Saturday mornings 10am to 1pm

In November 2020 Greener Beenham started their campaign to help local flora and fauna in the Parish.  Phase one saw a group of willing volunteers planting small saplings - provided by the Woodland Trust - of Silver Birch, Rowan and Field Maple. We managed to plant clumps of narcissi around the green along Church View, opposite the junction of Stoneyfield and Back Lane and Mallard Way.
The Green Team includes Jane Liming, Pat Owen, Janette Hammond, Helen and Chris Apsey, Nathaniel and Cassie Hart; please support the idea of planting trees and wild flowers in our open spaces.
