Return of the Advent Calendar

This year Fairfield will once again recreate a neighbourhood Advent Calendar.

What is a Village Advent Calendar?

On a given date, something festive is placed in the window (or garden) of a property in Fairfield, that can be viewed by people passing by. The display staying in place until the end of Christmas day. Examples of displays are: Christmas wreaths, The whole Nativity Scene, Candles, Father Christmas, Twelves Days of Christmas, Santa & Rudolf in the snow, Winter tree wonderland, and so on.

How can I take part?

Email clare@vintdunlop.co.uk with your address details, your preferred “unveil” date (1st to 24th December) and an outline of your display. We will then confirm your calendar “unveil” date.

For the Advent Calendar to work, displays must not be unveiled until the stated “unveil” date.

Then, during December, residents and visitors can wander around the village, enjoying the festive displays. We will publish a map of properties taking part in late November, this can be downloaded from the village website’s Festive Fairfield page Festive Fairfield – Fairfield Village Community Association (fvca.org.uk), a map will also get posted on the village hall (outside) noticeboard.

If you visit a display, take a photo and share on our twitter feed @Fairfield_Info or email it to us admin@fvca.org.uk

If you are looking for inspiration, checkout some of the previous displays.

This is such a lovely way to celebrate the lead up to Christmas Day in the village.

Burglaries On The Rise

In the first five months of 2026 there were 4 burglaries in Fairfield, Wildmoor & Stoneybridge; in the whole of 2025 there was one burglary and in 2024 there were 4 burglaries.

There has also been several attempted burglaries in recent months.

Please:

REVIEW your home and outbuilding security

PICK UP a copy of the Neighbourhood Watch crime prevention booklet from Foodie Fairfield, Wednesday Social or other Community Association events.

TAKE PART in initiatives that show that as a community we care; taking part in litter picks and washing street signs events makes Billy Burglar think twice.

REPORT suspicious activity.

DO NOT share photos or videos online of what you believe to be suspicious activity; for your safety these images should only be posted with the consent of the police.

If you are not already signed up, join our Neighbourhood Watch Group https://fvca.org.uk/neighbourhood-watch/ and subscribe to our eNewsletter https://fvca.org.uk/

Church Yard Tidy

Saturday 5th September

Arm yourself with shears, secateurs and rakes, we need your help in keeping our village church yard tidy.

Stop by anytime during the morning, whether you can give 30 minutes or a couple of hours, your help in keeping our village church yard tidy will be greatly appreciated.

Flood Alleviation

On 3rd July 2026, the North Worcestershire Water Management team and the Natural Flood Management Officer from Worcestershire County Council were joined by The Woodland Trust volunteers and the site manager for Pepper Wood to help create leaky dams to reduce flood risk.

During the morning, 7 leaky dam structures were built within a tributary of the Hockley Brook within Pepper Wood.

These structures are designed to allow base-flow to pass beneath, and during heavy rainfall will slow the flow and cause water to build upstream where it can safely spill out of bank into the woodland area; this will reduce the amount of water that reaches Dordale Road where it creates a flooding hazard.

Digital Switchover – Quick Reminder

Please encourage anyone vulnerable to contact their telephone provider NOW

As you may know, by January 2027, the UK’s old copper telephone network will be switched off. These changes will affect everyone who has or relies on a home phone, particularly for a telecare alarm, medical device, or burglar alarm. For older or vulnerable residents, it can be confusing and potentially risky as ignoring provider messages could mean the services people rely on may be disrupted. It’s important people respond when BT, Virgin Media, O2 or their landline provider, like TalkTalk, Sky, Zen, EE, PlusNet or any other provider contacts them, or even better – DO NOT wait to be contacted and instead contact your provider today and they will be supported through the process. For most, it’s as simple as plugging your phone into your router instead of the wall socket.
