Eighth Ledbury Community Day postponed

Update from The Organising Committee

We are planning to go ahead with the Eighth Ledbury Community Day on Saturday, 4th June 2022. This will be the Saturday of the Jubilee Long Weekend which starts on Thursday 2nd June.

We are in the early stage of planning but we will be using the three halls – St Katherine’s, The Burgage Hall and The Community Hall – as before.

We have already contacted groups who have taken part in previous years to try and establish what level of support we will have for this event. Please let us know if you wish to continue your involvement. If your group hasn’t taken part before but would like to become involved is this annual free showcase event please email [email protected] for more information. As in previous years, we will be sending out participant application forms later this year.

Please keep safe.

The seventh Ledbury Community Day was on Saturday 8th June, 2019.

It was a great time to discover what groups and organisations serving Ledbury and District do, how they can help you and how you can help them in all kinds of ways.

Highlights that year included

meeting our Army Cadets,
trying your hand at Bowls at the Bowling Club and the Community Centre,
riding on a Fire Engine,
exploring the magic of bell-ringing under the Market House,
trying out fitness equipment courtesy of Halo,
finding out about Ledbury Scouts’ 100^th Anniversary and
the Maritime Cadets’ replica field gun.

Our Community Brass Band once again brought joy to the High Street and our U3A Recorder Consort brought delight to St Michael’s Church. Stars Theatre Arts put on a dance and gymnastics show at the Community Centre.

The Community Centre, St Katherine’s Hall and the Burgage Hall were full of groups offering sports, education, environmental and leisure activities, ways to volunteer in the community and to help your own welfare.

Herefordshire Healthwatch and our local surgery patients’ groups were pleased to learn your views on health services. Our local neighbourhood policing team joined with Fire Station Open Day.

Rotary brought an Iron Lung exhibition to Ledbury to demonstrate their work in fighting polio in the world, and the Refugee Support Group told of their successes in spreading help from Ledbury to those in most need.

Councillors were at the Burgage Hall and members of our Youth Council at St Katherine’s Hall.

Visits to our heritage buildings included the Master’s House for a blacksmith demonstration and a book sale, and details of Ledbury Poetry Festival.
