Village calendar 2019
All these events are organised by villagers who voluntarily give their time, skills and resources to help make Piddington a thriving, friendly community. Many of them raise much needed funds for various village causes, and they'll all be good fun and great opportunities to get together with your friends and neighbours. Please come along and support as many of them as you can.

In search of Aster N.A. 'Piddington Purple'
Matt Killick grew up in Brill and is interested in conserving old varieties of plants. One of these is a Michaelmas Daisy, Aster Novae 'Piddington Purple', which is local to this area. Whilst he has no photographs a local nursery plant catalogue from 1997 describes the plant as a semi-double flower of rich purple, growing to 4ft. If you can help Matt with his search, please email him.
The Pantry - market dates 2019
30 March
7 September 7 December Any changes will be posted in The Pantry blog. We look forward to seeing you! Would you like to be involved?
Getting The Pantry up and running is no small undertaking, and the success of each one depends on the efforts of a number of people who have volunteered to help with various jobs that need doing. We now have a gratifyingly large group of people we can call on to help, but we can always do with more.
Our volunteers turn their hand to many things - e.g. setting up the stalls and marquee beforehand, baking for the coffee shop, serving behind the counter or on the General Store, clearing away afterwards. People really seem to enjoy volunteering at the market, and their friendly enthusiasm helps to make it such an enjoyable event. As a volunteer on market day itself, you won’t need to be around for the whole time – just an hour or two when it’s most convenient for you would be a huge help. If you'd like to join our volunteers, please contact Maggie on 01844 237688 or email. Defibrillator outside Village Hall - useful information
