The Red Lion Community Garden featured at this year’s Party in the Park, alongside stalls for Pride in Paulton, Cam Valley Wildlife Group and the School Gardening Club. How amazing to have 4 groups all committed to improving the natural environment in our village.We were able to talk to local people about the project and share some of our first produce: gooseberries; raspberries; and herbs (basil, parsley and marjoram).
Several young families from the estate behind the pub talked with us about how good it will be to have somewhere for their children to learn more about growing and gardening, especially those without their own gardens. We also had an offer of perennial flowers and advice for one keen gardener and a new resident who has been experience of helping community gardens elsewhere. We continue to meet fortnightly on Saturday mornings (from 10.00 – 12.00) for ‘working parties’ and chat. Current jobs to be done include watering, weeding and continuing with tidying up the site. The next sessions are on: 6th July, 20th July, 3rd August, 17th August, 31st August and fortnightly thereafter. You don’t have to stay for the full 2 hours and we are always pleased to see people who just want to come and look at what we are doing and share their ideas for the development of the garden.
We are always open to hearing from anyone interested in learning more about what we are doing, helping to develop our plans for the future, and talk about how we work with other groups in the village. Do come by to meet us all.
We also have the following Pond Workshop event coming up!See the events page.

Paulton Concert Band
Can you help us?
We are looking for a new conductor, for our small friendly band, as, after many years, Richard Soulsby is standing down.
Firstly, we would like to thank him for his many years of hard work and dedication in leading the band.
This means that we have an opportunity for someone to take over from him and we would welcome anyone with musical knowledge to get in touch with us.
Richard has kindly offered to assist with the handover and will support them any way he can.

Somerset Coal Canal
The Coal Canal is a canal under restoration. It starts from the junction of the Kennet and Avon canal at Limpley Stoke, Brassknocker basin and follows the Cam valley though Midford, Combe hay where it ascends a flight of 22 locks and on to Dunkerton, Camerton, Radford and ends at the Paulton/Timsbury basins. There was also a southern line that went from Midford across an aqueduct and ended at Radstock, this part of the canal was short lived in part to a lack of water and was superseded with a tramway.
