Huntspill Community Hub Calendar for 2024
We are currently putting the finishing touches to our calendar that will provide you with advance notice of activities/special events that will be taking place throughout the coming year. This will include Hub activities such as our Coffee Mornings and Tea & Talks, and special events including bats, belfries, cars and cakes! We hope to have the calendar launched in the March Huntspill News and on our website, as well as being made available in key village venues.
Christmas Tree Festival 2024 (YES, 2024!)
Thank you so much to all the community businesses and individuals who supported our Christmas Tree Festival in 2023 – together you raised £170 for our Community Funds for which we are very grateful and thank you for the support. The contributions from this support will be used to enable us to provide even more activities and special events in 2024 for the whole community. The trees looked so beautiful, especially at the Christingle Service, the Christmas Concert and the Carols by Candlelight. Thank you to the following for their continuing support:

Looking ahead for this year – for 2024 we are planning to represent the Twelve Days of Christmas so we are looking for 12 businesses/community groups/family groups who might like to decorate a tree to represent one of the verses. So far the ‘Partridge in a Pear Tree’ has been reserved so if you are keen to participate please get in touch with Ginny via email powerv23@gmail.com to secure your favourite verse! Thank you so much for your ongoing support.
Somerset Coast Path Passport- Huntspill Hub Included!
We are very excited to announce that the Huntspill Community Hub will be featured in the new reprinted version of the Somerset Exmoor Coast Path for 2024! The passport has spaces in it for visitors to collect souvenir stamps. This is being funded by the Somerset Trails Partnership so will be FREE and is being distributed via visitor information centres along the route (we also hope to have some passports available in the Huntspill Community Hub.
As we are located close to the path we thought that it would be great if we could be included as a stamping point. We will be providing an individual stamp and ink plus a notebook to record who has visited us. The idea behind it is to get people who are walking the trail to visit businesses along the route collect a stamp, hopefully take a photo and share on social media using #SomersetExmoorCoast.
You can see all the current stamping points here Stamp Trail PDF and we will be added very soon!
