As we come out of lockdown, and hopefully get back to some kind of normality, your village needs your support to get back to its welcoming, thriving best. The Village Hall is up and running again and most of our regulars have now re-booked; the online Village Hall calendar https://belstonevillage.net/village-hall-calendar/ will give you an idea of what is happening over the next few weeks. The Village Hall committee took the decision to cancel the Village Fair and the Commoners the Beating the Bounds, this year, but both organisations hope that these will go ahead as normal next year.
