Tim Speller came to Buriton’s local Country Park in 1995 and has been a great contact and friend of the community for all that time.

Amongst many highlights of cooperative working with the parish council and community groups was taking over the responsibilities for Buriton’s Chalk Pits Nature Reserve from the District Council and amalgamating it into the Country Park’s responsibilities.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has recently announced the expansion of Buriton’s Coulters Dean Nature Reserve, made possible by a generous gift left in a Will and a £50,000 donation from Southern Co-op.

The funding has enabled the Trust to almost double the size of the reserve and increase the amount of chalk grassland by four times, transforming its ability to protect one of the UK’s rarest habitats.

At least one Buriton artist is featured in a new exhibition in Petersfield.

Exhibiting nearly 150 works by over 120 artists, Petersfield Museum & Art Gallery’s ‘South Downs Open’ exhibition runs from 22 October until the end of January.

Visitors will be able to enjoy paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculpture, textiles  and ceramics that draw inspiration from across the  South Downs region: from Old Winchester Hill to Beachy Head in Sussex. 

More details can be found here.

Over 60 artificial Christmas trees are available for people to decorate.

Book one from the organisers and then bring your own decorations or sponsor them to decorate it on your behalf. 

There will be a prize for the best, wackiest and funniest decorated tree. 

Traditional décor is fine: but how about thinking outside the box?! 

Get together as a family or as a group of friends or as a business.
