Beenham Village Events
Beenham Village Events (BVE) is a community organisation constituted under the auspices of Beenham Parish Council for the purpose of organising social and fundraising events for the benefit of residents of the parish of Beenham. The group has helped to organise many popular Summer Festivals and village Christmas Tree celebrations.

Platinum Jubilee Celebration
The village celebrated in style and lots of people joined in the activities. Many thanks to all the helpers and participants who made this happen.
Beacon Lighting
The BBQ and the Beacon lighting at St Mary's church went really well. The hamburgers were thoroughly enjoyed and the bonfire went up with a roar.

Bridge Building
The Grand Opening of the new bridge in Greyfield Wood took place at 4pm on Friday 3 June - on schedule and a wonderful bridge. These are the first people crossing it. See more on the Greyfield Wood page, and there is a photo galley here. The Teddy Bear trail around the wood was very popular with the younger members of the village.

Fun Day on the Rec
What a great afternoon we had with our 1950s style Fun Day. Look at the photo gallery here to see our wheelbarrow race, the egg and spoon races, sack races, welly throwing and lots of other activities. Young and old and everyone in between enjoyed the afternoon. Many thanks to all the people who made this event happen, and to Tina Alder who took so many action photos.

Victory Hall Bring Your Own Picnic
The final event on our busy schedule of Platinum Jubilee celebrations was the picnic and film in the Victory Hall and Beenham Club. A great event to round off four days of community activities. This event was also in aid of Ukraine.
