Do we want more of a say in how Nettlebed develops in the future?
At the recent Annual Parish Meeting, the idea of a Neighbourhood Plan for Nettlebed was discussed. This is a community-led way of shaping future development so it better reflects local views and protects the character of the village.
Before anything moves forward, we need to know: is there enough local interest to make this worthwhile?
We’re also looking for a small group of residents to help explore this further as part of an initial Steering Group.
If you’re interested in getting involved, or simply want to show support for exploring the idea, please take a moment to register here:
RESPOND HERE
Or comment/message us if you’d prefer.
This only works if people get involved at this early stage – your views really do matter!

The annual Nettlebed Art & Craft show will be returning 01st - 02nd August 2026.
The 2025 show was a huge success with over 100 exhibits from nearly 50 local artists featured and offered for sale over the weekend. We are delighted to announce 31 works of art in total were sold. The weekend was again very well attended with over 650 visitors through the doors. This year we would like to attract more artists to exhibit their work.
The annual show invites artists living within a 20-mile radius of Nettlebed to display up to four paintings, with any theme or subject. So whether you like still-life or landscape, animals or florals, there is plenty to see.
