After the success of the last two years, and many residents wishing to see it again, 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 admin@fvca.org.uk with your address details, your preferred “unveil” date (1^st to 24^th December) and an outline of your display (to reduce likelihood of duplication – it would be fantastic if we had at least 24 different displays).  We will then confirm your calendar “unveil” date.

For the Advent Calendar to works, 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

The annual service of Remembrance will take place on Sunday 13^th November, starting at 10.50am, at the War Memorial in front of Fairfield Village Hall.  The short service will be led by St. Mark’s Church. Donations received will be given to the Royal British Legion.

In the evening, we are screening OPERATION MINCEMEAT (12A), starting 7.30pm, admission £5.00.

During the school half-term break, from Monday 24th October, why not take part in our Pumpkin Trail?

All you have to do is paint or carve a pumpkin and leave it on display for other people to see.

During the week villagers and visitors can walk around the village admiring our spooky displays.

If you spot a pumpkin in the village, post it on Twitter, tagging in @Fairfield_Info

Message from the Chairman, Fairfield Village Community Association

This evening, residents mourn the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth, a sovereign that had led by example, and her service to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth will never be forgotten.

Residents of Fairfield, Wildmoor & Stoneybridge are in deep shock, and reflecting on what Queen Elizabeth means to them.

Queen Elizabeth touched all our lives, she was a constant thread, and she will be known as Elizabeth The Great.

The crown has passed to her son, now King Charles 3rd. Our thoughts and prayers are with His Majesty and the Royal Family.

We wish His Majesty good health and long may he reign over us.

God Save The King

Are you a parent who wants to go out to a social event or attend a Fairfield Flicks cinema screening/Live Music night but are unable as you have a young child to look after? Then the answer is a reliable babysitter.

Lukas is a sensible 17-year-old, and lives in the Fairfield. He is available for babysitting in the village and the surrounding areas as he drives. He has experience, as he already sits for others in the village.
