Dear Subscriber First Name      

As we enter August we have a few updates for you on recent and upcoming events, including Nunney Fayre Day, as well as the first session of our free fitness bootcamps in the Old Quarry Gardens (and over the next three Saturdays). Plus, a further update on the Nunney Castle bridge, and finally, a survey to complete on prioritising some of the Parish Council’s ‘fix list’ from your point of view. We also have a new Nunney Parish Councillor, Peter Shepherd - welcome Peter! Whilst we are in the height of summer, you might need ideas to explore the wonders of Somerset, so we have curated a few places to visit and explore for you and your family.

Enjoy!

NUNNEY FITNESS BOOTCAMPS

If you're not in this group photo from last Saturday's first FREE outdoor exercise session, then you totally missed out on what one participant said was "the most fun I have ever had exercising!"

Please join us this Saturday (9th) and the following two (16th and 23rd) of August for more fun and outdoor group fitness with Beth, Theo & Julie. 

At the end of each session you get to rate your favourite trainer for the chance to win a FREE one to one session with the winning trainer.

Don't let the term Bootcamp scare you, these classes are for all abilities. Our oldest participant last week was 80 and our youngest was 16! 

Join us this Saturday or the next couple by signing up here

NUNNEY FAYRE DAY
26th July 2025

Nunney Fayre was again a happy day for villagers and visitors. The NCA, as organiser, is hugely grateful to the contributions many made to a successful day by volunteering, moving their cars off the streets, loaning their wheelie bins, lending their fields for car parking, and in many other ways.

Following the pattern post-Covid since 2023 we were keen to provide an opportunity for village groups to showcase or to raise funds, including our First School, the Church, the Players and the Flower Show. 

While the primary aim is to strengthen the village community and to welcome visitors, we did make some money, still to be finalised, but roughly £1,500 in line with recent years.

The money we raise is used to buy Christmas gifts for children at the school and pre-school, fund the two village Christmas trees, and support other free village events (such as the VE Day celebration earlier this year).

Thank you again to all who volunteered and contributed to Nunney Fayre Day 2025

NUNNEY CASTLE BRIDGE UPDATE

On behalf of the Walker family, we share an announcement that, alas, to date the English Heritage do not have funds allocated due to their restructuring so, with their blessing, we would like to commence fundraising to rebuild the bridge for Nunney Castle.

We are speaking to local industry for sponsorships to help raise funds which are now estimated to be around £75,000 in total (about half the figure that English Heritage have published). We have confidence that businesses, including the quarries around Nunney, and individuals will help us reach our target.

The Walker family have therefore set up a dedicated website to raise awareness and, for any interested parties, in whatever capacity, to sign up. You can also follow the new Facebook group.

Whilst the website is not taking donations at this stage, it is actively seeking individuals (and companies) to share if they might be interested in donating funds to the cause of rebuilding the Nunney Castle bridge.

If you feel passionately about the rebuild of the bridge, visit the new Nunney Castle website or the Facebook page to take action.

SUMMER IN SOMERSET

Thinking of places to go for a family day out in Somerset? We have curated some amazing summer attractions around Somerset for all the family. Visit our Summer in Somerset page on the Nunney Parish Council website.

We have a new Parish Councillor

We are pleased to announce that Peter Shepherd recently joined the Nunney Parish Council in July. He is part of our Estates & Transport working groups and is ready to serve the village.

Feel free to reach out to Peter.
