Welcome to Hemyock, Anonymous Wednesday, July 02 2025 @ 12:07 am UTC
The coming week will be a busy time for St Mary's with the Christmas Fair, Christingle service and the Licensing of the Rev David Burton.
The annual Christmas Fair to be held at the Parish Hall on Saturday 3rd December from 2.30pm - 4.30pm will have the usual range of traditional stalls where you will be able to find gifts for family and friends as well as tasty cakes and savouries along with the possibility of winning a prize . Father Christmas is due to arrive at 3pm and refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon.
Hemyock Singers are holding a COFFEE MORNING with Raffle and Bring & Buy stall in the FORBES LOUNGE, HEMYOCK on SATURDAY 26TH NOVEMBER from 10.00am - 12 noon. Tickets for SONGS FOR A SEASON and TURKEY DINNER which is on Friday 16th December at 7.00pm in the Parish Hall will be on sale at £12. Anyone unable to come to the Coffee Morning will be able to buy their tickets for the concert at Hemyock Post Office after 26th.
Do you want more housing built on ‘exceptional sites’ (agricultural land bordering the village which would not usually be available for development)? Hemyock plans to join with Clayhidon in forming a Community Land Trust. There is only a short window to apply for funding towards this. (Is this being rushed through?) In essence the Community Land Trust would form a partnership with a Housing Association to build houses that would be available to the local community in perpetuity, with a proportion available to Hemyock residents.
Nearly 200 people filled Hemyock Village Hall for a Sunday service to say farewell to Blackdown Hills church minister Steven Reed and his wife Hazel. It was 10 years to the day since Steven began the work of leading Hemyock Baptist Church, during which time many positive things had happened in the life of the congregation which had enjoyed steady growth.
Feeling fresher and turning brighter.
A band of cloud will edge eastwards across the region during the evening, this breaking up to leave a fine night with clear spells developing from the west. Remaining fairly warm in light winds, but feeling fresher than of late. Minimum temperature 12 °C.
Wednesday looks set to be a largely dry day with a fair amount of sunshine. Perhaps an isolated light shower developing, mainly in the west. Feeling pleasantly warm, but fresher. Maximum temperature 23 °C.
A ridge of high pressure will give a mostly settled day on Thursday, with sunny spells. Gradually clouding over on Friday with damp and breezy conditions spreading east for Saturday.
