This year’s Ride & Stride is on Saturday the 13th September. It is a National Event organised by the National Churches Trust, and the Shropshire Historic Churches Trust, have been pleased to take part each year.
St Peter’s Adderley will be open from 11am to 4pm with refreshments. Come and have a look around our historic church. If you are feeling energetic please take part, see website for more information https://ridestride.org
Following the excellent response to the community survey we continue to progress with the redevelopment project.
IT’S HAPPENING
We have taken on board a number of very constructive points, some long term regarding the plans, and some which we can act on immediately
WE’RE LISTENING
Firstly, we have developed an Adderley Community WhatsApp.
It is a “one direction” WhatsApp which will allow us to send messages about anything going on in the village and important updates on all projects.
It does not allow return of conversation, so will not be full of chat, just interesting and appropriate community messages straight to your phone.
IT’S BRILLIANT
It is facilitated by using a QR code, which means we do not need to retain any mobile numbers, so there are no GDPR issues to be concerned about.
IT’S SAFE
Secondly, we are organising regular events in the village, for example weekly quizzes, monthly coffee mornings and a village get together on 13th September.
IT’S EXCITING
All information will be sent in a very simple message on the Adderley Village Community WhatsApp, so follow the QR code to register.
IT’S EASY
The actual redevelopment is in the stage of creating a business plan and investigating funding. We need to bring together a small group of people to represent all parts of the community.
IT’S IMPORTANT.

Join the village hall committee for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday 10th June at 7:30pm.
Everyone welcome.
On Tuesday, 27th May 2025, the Annual Parish Meeting was held at the Village Hall, chaired by Marius Coulon on behalf of the Parish Council. Following the Chairman’s report, representatives from various local groups and organisations; including the Church, the Village Planters group, and the Adderley Heritage Project; provided updates and presentations on their recent activities and ongoing projects. Outgoing Parish Councillors were recognised and thanked and incoming councillor welcomed. Vacancy for two additional councillors remain, if you would like more information regarding becoming a Parish Councillor please contact the Clerk Jane at clerk@adderleyparish.co.uk
A key part of the evening was a presentation from the Village Hall Committee, who took the opportunity to share the findings of a recent community survey focused on the Future of Adderley Village Hall. Committee member Ken Greetham delivered an informative presentation, covering the history of the hall, its current financial standing, the composition of the current committee, and a detailed 30-minute review of the survey results.
The survey received 70 responses, representing both individuals and households within the parish. It was designed to gather broad and open feedback regarding the Village Hall’s current use, management, and potential future. These insights will serve as critical guidance for the committee and will also be used as supporting evidence for future grant and funding applications.
Following the presentation, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and share additional feedback in what proved to be a highly constructive discussion. This is just the beginning of a wider consultation process, with further meetings and engagement opportunities planned as the project develops.
The next steps include a meeting with the appointed consultant to assess available funding options. This will lead to the formation of a detailed business plan for the village hall’s future.
To ensure transparency, the committee has made the full survey results publicly available https://results.smartsurvey.co.uk/VcCdVjrQvy6KOb1OJnBRjxOMOW8pTTsY
The Village Hall Committee would like to extend sincere thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the evening, and to the Parish Council for facilitating the presentation. For those unable to attend, we encourage you to speak with someone who was present to stay informed about the discussions and next steps.
