Waddington Summer Fair Weekend 2026
With the summer weekend extravaganza on 19th and 20th June. The events committee are now putting together this year's schedule.
We are pleased to announce that this year we are adding something new to the mix.
Waddingtons got talent.
Yes! Its open to under and over 18’s and were looking for the next big talent. So, if you think you have a hidden talent, whether it be singing, comedy, magic, individuals or groups, send a clip no more than 5 mins long, to waddingtonpc.clerk@outlook.com. The top 6 in each category will have a chance to impress a judging panel at the event on the evening of Friday 19th Jun, and then the final will be on the afternoon of Saturday 20th June. The compere for the show, will be our very own Cllr Martyn Hurst and it will be sponsored by local businesses, details to follow.
Keep an eye open for more information about the weekend, in the months ahead.
Family Fun Day
Due to the constant hot weather in June and after the success of the dog show moving to the Fun Day, down at the Community Centre on Redwood Drive last September. We will be having another Family Fun Day on Saturday 5th September, where we will have the dog show, along with a bar, bbq, bouncy castle and fun games for all ages.
Upcoming Projects
Upcoming projects the council are looking at for 2026.
- Reinstating a better footpath around Sidney Hall Field.
- Improving the road in the burial ground.
- Completing the improvements to Redwood Drive Community Centre
- Improving the Redwood Drive Playground.
Waddington is unique as not only do we have the Village Hall that you can hire out, but we also have Redwood Drive Community Centre and The Community Hub. That is 3 buildings that we have to maintain, as well as 6 playparks, 3 playing fields, the skatepark, burial ground, bus shelters, and street furniture, so things take longer than other villages to get all amenities updated.
It is now apparent with three local hostelries and a social club on brant Rd, the village has something for everyone and the bus timetables as helped to keep the whole village connected.
Please feel free to email or phone the Parish Clerk if there is something you feel needs dealing with, before using the socials to vent a problem. As sometimes an answer can be forthcoming for easier resolve.
Annual Parish Meeting
The Annual Parish Meeting will be on Monday 20th April at 6.30pm in Redwood Drive Community Centre. All residents are invited to attend the meeting, where the Chairman will speak about what we have done over the past year and what we have planned for the coming year. The County Councillor Tom Dyer and District Councillors Lance Pennell, Leigh Sanders and Mathew Cooper, will be present. After the meeting we have tea/coffee and cake, where you can chat to the Councillors and ask any questions.
