St Hilary Needs Your Help
St Hilary isn’t just a place – it’s our community, where families grow, friendships deepen, and memories are made.
As we reach out with our annual call for donations, we invite every villager to help us preserve what makes St Hilary so special.
Together, we can keep our village a vibrant, welcoming home for everyone. With your support, we’ll carry forward the spirit of St Hilary – celebrating with memorable events and caring for the village spaces we treasure.
The Christmas Elves: Village Hall - 6pm, Monday 16 December
The Christmas countdown has started, everywhere elves are busy preparing and wrapping presents. Will Gerald and Wallace manage to get their presents ready in time …….or will they get distracted by all the Circus equipment they have been asked to wrap!
These very excited Christmas Elves have an important job to do for Santa, to test then wrap all the presents going to the circus. A children’s and family show packed with magical illusions, great circus skills and hilarious interaction with the audience …. some of whom end up being the Stars of the Show! Gerard and Wallace’s larger than life character’s and silly antics have the parents as captivated as the children. This festive offering includes awesome circus tricks, including the giraffe unicycle, magical illusions, Christmas musical bells and lots of fun. Ideal for those between 3 -93 years old.
Tickets priced £10 per adult and £5 per child with family discounts available. More details from Liz Loch 07747 688219 or https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/st-hilary-village/t-zzmnzyz

Join our village maintenance volunteer team!
We're looking for wonderful volunteers to join the pool of residents who help maintain the village throughout the year. In autumn and winter, you'll assist with leaf blowing in the churchyard to help keep the paths dry and safe , while in spring and summer, you'll help trim the verges to make the village even more attractive.
We provide high-quality, cordless Sthil equipment and full training, so no prior experience is needed!
Unlike 3Cs, this is individual work (as there’s only one tool per task), making it ideal for villagers who want to contribute but may not have time during the week. The tasks are flexible, based on the weather and seasonal needs, requiring only about 3-4 sessions a year.
