We’re once again looking for volunteers to help clean our village road signs!
Last year, your incredible efforts made a huge difference to the appearance of Nettlebed. Whether you're a returning volunteer or joining us for the first time, we'd love your help.
The Parish Council have arranged to borrow a couple of cleaning kits for a few weeks. Even just an hour of your time can make a big impact. Why not gather your family or a few friends—or head out solo—and clean a few signs at your own pace?
If you are interested, please get in touch with us at: clerk@nettlebed-pc.gov.uk
Let’s come together once more to keep our village looking its best!#CommunitySpirit #Volunteer #KeepNettlebedBeautiful #Nettlebed

Dear Nettlebed
Nettlebed village fete is this Saturday 21st June 2-9pm.
Unfortunately, we've had to cancel the dog show due to the weather - it's a shame, but its the right thing to do!
We do have a very fun filled day for the humans.
Here’s a little info about the day. Also see poster below or our social media pages.
Kicking off the fete will be the very funny wheelbarrow race at 2:10.
If you’re taking part be on the start line at 2pm.
Fancy dress optional but expected. Over 18’s only. Bring a wheelbarrow.
Never seen before in Nettlebed, Merlin the magician will be there performing at 3:45pm and doing a walk about at 5:30pm.
New to the fete a Rodeo Bull. How long can you stay on for?
Back by popular demand The Zorbs!
Delicious selection of street food.
Stocked bar selling fine wines, local bitter, Pimm’s tent and a gin bar! Perfect on a hot day.
DJ from 5pm playing Ibiza classics, dance anthems & party hits.
All the traditional games and more....
