Update: Happy New Year
Reminder: The first working bee of 2026 is coming up on Saturday 17 January starting at 9am (earlier than usual to beat the heat). Meet on Alandale Rd opposite Wimbledon. All welcome! We have moved our regular Saturday working bee to the 3rd Saturday of the month.
Please help us by watering the plants. As it has been so hot and dry for a while now many of our plants are getting stressed so if you can help with watering them please do so. Many thanks to those who have already been doing this.
In the Village
Aniseed cafe (reduced hours) and the Organic Market have reopened following the holiday break. The Dish will reopen on 22 January. Eaglemont Cellars, Crave Lab Thai and Fish & Chips are open their regular hours.
