It’s that time of year again and Barry is transforming all the many flower tubs around the village to make them beautiful for us. Thankyou Barry. They truly are amazing and much appreciated by us all.
This year we’re hoping to light up Adderley again and there’s a rumour that a certain Santa may be paying a visit. To help us promote the event we would like the children in the village to design us a poster.
The poster needs to be A4 and contain the words:
Adderley Lights Up Again
and the date
Friday 3rd December
The winning poster will be used around the village and on the website. All entries will be displayed in a gallery on the website for everyone to enjoy.
Closing date for entries is Friday 12th November. You can photograph/scan your entry and send it to webmaster@adderleyparish.co.uk OR your can drop it into the letterbox at Willow Lodge, Green Bank, Adderley. Don’t forget to include your name, age and contact details.
It’s going to be so exciting!
Following a request from the Parish Council this statement regarding the potential traffic calming measures on the A529 through Adderley has been issued by WSP, Shropshire Council’s Contractor, after discussions with Shropshire Highway’s Officers. We are now waiting for the Formal Consultation though we have no timescale yet.
The informal questionnaire was undertaken to “test the water” regarding the local view before taking any designs to the formal consultation required for traffic calming. This formal consultation is the opportunity for comments to be made about a more developed design. The responses showed a full range of views about traffic measures through the village including both support and objection, but also a number of doubts and caveats. Some of the comments resonated with the initial thoughts of the design team. Others expressed very different concerns and still other opinions expressed fall outside of the design regulations and guidelines.

The children’s “Trick and Treat” trip around the village will happen again this year as it did last. Starting around 6:00 (ish)
Any villager who would like to participate are asked to decorate their doorstep to show they are in the Halloween Mood (Pumpkins, Skeletons, ghosts etc) and leave any sweets/treats for the children on their driveway to be collected.
Why not tell us you’re going by clicking on the RSVP under the ghosts.
Thank you to the very lovely Tracy Ennis in Station Road, who has organised a “Pop up” in the village hall which will be a great opportunity to purchase some really different clothes and fashion accessories that you won’t find on the high street. Freshen up your wardrobe, buy a Christmas present or two, or just come along to get some great ideas of what’s on trend right now. Drinks and nibbles will be served on the evening and it’s a great opportunity to bring along a friend and have a lovely evening out. Even better, if you can’t manage the evening the pop up will be open again on Saturday morning so you can come along then to view or to pick up that piece you should have ordered the night before. How good is that?
Book your place by texting or calling Tracy – details on the flier and we will see you there!
When? Friday 8th October 7-9:30pm or Saturday 9th October 9:30am-11:30am
What? Come along and browse the beautiful French collection from https://uk.captaintortue.com/
Where? Adderley Village Hall
Why? Looking for a few unique pieces for your autumn/winter wardrobe or maybe even a gift for that upcoming birthday, Christmas or a special occasion? You’ll find it here!

Adderley welcomes a new playgroup which will open from Wednesday 8th September, 9.45am -11.30am. We are welcoming donations (to supply healthy snacks) and volunteers.
Adderley village hall is welcoming new baby & toddler group for Wednesday mornings. All children under the age of 5 are welcome with their parents, grandparents, carers & childminders.
The group will run term time on Wednesdays between 9:45am and 11:15am.
It shall be a free group to attend however donations are welcome to enable the group to provide the children with healthy snacks, arts & crafts and messy play. So far Morrison’s have kindly gifted us food towards the group and Adderley hall are providing the tea and coffees. Special thanks should be given to Phil Glad who is part of the village hall committee allowing the group run. We hope it’s a great community asset in bringing together parents & preschoolers especially after an isolating time for new parents during the pandemic.
The group has lots of great toys & books all of which have been donated by the general public to help set it up. It shall have a baby area for none walkers and the hall is a large space for preschoolers to run around and enjoy themselves.
We are currently looking for additional volunteers to help with the group. Even on a time share basis would be of great help. This will involve setting up the toys ready for the group to start, helping with drink & good and cleaning up afterwards.
