It's Christmas Time in Willaston
Christmas is always here once the lights are on and Your Willaston will ensure that the tree lights are replaced for next year to make sure our wonderful Christmas Lights switch on event continues in style.
The Christmas Tree Display
Thank you to the wonderful Your Willaston (YW) community for providing this tree for the Church Christmas Tree Festival. We appreciate the assistance from Follyfields Nurseries too. YW was very pleased to be able to donate this tree from the community and hope that it fills a home in the community with Christmas cheers whilst also raising good funds for the church. Here's a few pictures but please go and see all the wonderful trees tonight and tomorrow night from 6:00pm.
Christmas Tree Festival
Having been missing for a few years we are so happy that Christchurch will this year be hosting the ChristmasTree Festival. It will be only available for tree viewings for a few hours each day 6pm to 8pm on the 9th and 10th of December so please go and see the trees buy one and take a fully decorated tree home for Christmas.
More Pollards Updates
As promised by Star Pubs work has commenced on The Pollards Inn with a view to it returning to it's place in village life early next year.
Our first Farmers Market
Last weekend saw the first Farmers Market come to life. We saw over 400 people come to the village and enjoy both our market and the Country Markets offering. We also made a difference for our local businesses that received great custom and in the words of one of our local residents, 'I've never seen so many people in the village, its fantastic!' It generated a great vibe in the village. We will have more next year and hope to continue the positivity it created. Help us do this and join Your Willaston.
Upcoming Events
​A Farmers Market - Saturday 22nd November 9am to 1pm
​
Your Willaston is happy to bring you a Farmers Market. Complementing the Country Market at the Memorial Hall we will be launching a Farmers Market in the car park of the Nags Head on Saturday 22nd November between 9am and 1pm. There will be a variety of stalls including Meat, Fish, Gluten Free options and more. Its a must to visit both markets and take in the pre Christmas spirit prior to the tree lights switch on the following week.
​
It's nearly here! No not Christmas just yet. Here's a map for next week to help find locations. The mains market sites are marked with both postcodes and ///what.three.words references. Star Pubs have given permission for the use of the pub carpark at Pollards and there is also a public carpark in the same road Buckley Lane. We encourage you to walk where able to help. If you get stuck there will be Your Willaston volunteers in HV's on the day to assist.​
The bus shelter has been dressed for Remembrance Day on the 11th November.
​Good News for all. The four walks guide post at the Memorial Hall has been replaced. Thanks to Paul and Paul from Willaston Farm who have reproduced the post from previous images to compliment the map below. They are seen here meticulously levelling the post. The map takes you on a variety of paths, through fields and along walkways in and around our wonderful village.

Community Notice
Boards
​
We are pleased to confirm that Your Willaston CIC has now taken responsibility for the maintenance and management of the two Community Notice Boards in the village.
The two notice boards have long been a great village facility, keeping the residents up to date with various village events and groups activities. They also have the advantage of free advertising for local service providers.
If anyone should wish to place an advertisement, please email a copy of your proposed advertisement to yourwillaston@gmail.com
​
Subject to approval, arrangement will be made for you to drop off your advertisement to a representative from Your Willaston CIC.
Your advertisement should be presented on A5 size paper or card.
​
Anyone or group currently advertising in the notice boards, if you could please check your ad as many are looking a little faded and possible difficult to read. These may require refreshing. If so, if you could again email as above your request to refresh.
Finally, a big thank you to Hilary whom has long been the custodian of the Notice Boards
