Community OrchardThank you to everyone involved into the creation of the community orchard. Paulton Parish Council have been working in partnership with Paulton on the Wild Side to establish the orchard on land in the bottom corner of the Miners Recreational Ground. It is hoped this will become a brilliant asset for the village to enjoy for years to come.

Can you help the Somerset Coal Canal SocietyWe desperately need a little bit of help arranging our events. It requires somebody that is fairly organised and can offer a few hours each month to book halls, gather event information and co-ordinate to make sure they go smoothly. You don’t always have to attend the events, but it would be great if you could.
Most of our talks are held at Paulton Village Hall and our walks are dotted along the route of the canal from Timsbury up to Bath and some are from Bath to Radstock.
To give you a rough idea of how much work is involved, we held 11 events last year and have 5 booked for next year already, although we may add to that as time goes on. There are a few other non-official events that take place, such as smaller talks for specific groups that request it throughout the year too, but these are very light touch.
If you’d like anymore information, please email Derrick .moc.lanaclaoc%40namriahc

Thank you to all who attended the meeting on 22/11/25. Look out for more progress and news about the hub

We ask for a cutoff day of 12th December to receive goods for Christmas to give us time to get it out to the centres and to the clients.Donations can be made outside Holy Triniy Church, at the co op, in the Wesley hall or at Tesco
