We are keen to encourage village groups to promote events they may be running through the year, so they can appear on the events calendar here: https://pillandeastoningordano.org/events/

This will help promote the diverse range of local events in the village. 

You can easily submit your own events by completing the form at the bottom of the events page – or just click here: https://pillandeastoningordano.org/events/#submitevent

We’d really like to see the calendar fill up with events that help to promote local groups, and enable people throughout the village to take part in activities, to help improve community wellbeing.

We would like to thank North Somerset Council and Woodspring Ramblers for the installation of new gates to replace the stiles on the footpaths between the A369 and the village. Again, these allow access to our footpaths for people who cannot manage a stile. 

This has all been achieved under the Rights of Way Improvement Plan funding, so thanks to all who have helped make this happen.
