Stunning September!

Jo MacArthur • August 26, 2025

This summer will soon be over, and we can anticipate cooler days and the dreaded darker morning blues,

Alongside sharpened pencils, the seductive pull of fresh stationery and those shiny brand-new shoes!

But there is still plenty to look forward to both here in Chipping Sodbury and in the surrounding locality

From Fayres, both Craft and Spiritual, to an 80’s throwback night to bring out your moves and personality!

The gardens at Badminton House are open with glorious displays of plants on a stunning and magnificent scale,

And the Sodbury Players present the Legend of Sleepy Hollow with the Headless Horseman and its gothic tale.

Also nearby are courses in coppicing, a traditional method of woodland management to allow light to reach the floor,

And the annual Wedding Fair takes place to find local services to create the perfect day for you and the one you adore!

In nearby Bath the Jane Austen Festival takes place with a Regency Costumed Promenade, plus walks and talks and much more,

And is an opportunity to enjoy a varied programme inspired by the timeless works of the author, and an in-depth chance to explore.

So as the back-to-school vibes continue and the long hot balmy summer holidays are finally dwindling and drawing to an end,

Come to The Moda House and Chipping Sodbury for a lovely stay to discover the area either as a couple or with a friend!

 

 

 

 


Awesome August!

Sultry July!

By Jo MacArthur • June 23, 2025
July is a wonderful month to enjoy the long warm days, the lush green countryside and blue skies As the middle of summer is an idyllic time to experience the balmy days, and perfect and pretty butterflies! Village fetes take place alongside music festivals in manicured parks and cricket matches on quaint greens And Wimbledon begins after the excitement and warm up tournament of the smaller and more intimate Queens. Productions of The Wizard of Oz and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie take place in the nearby Town Hall And the Sodbury Fest is back with more family fun, live music and entertainment, and the odd food stall! The Chipping Sodbury Book Fair takes place with a chance for book lovers to browse and enjoy a good mystery And slightly further afield The Bristol Harbour Festival celebrates its community spirit and diverse history!

Joyful June!

How have we already reached the month of June and just where has this year gone! But there is still time to make plans for an awesome summer with sun-drenched days and so on. It is a month to grill, chill and thrill with the sizzle of something delicious on the barbecue, And a chance to celebrate Father’s Day all together with a few bottles and a corkscrew! The Big Lunch team are excited to bring you a magical day of free entertainment and fun With a fabulous back to the 80’s theme to enjoy with friends and picnics in the warm sun! Former Heavyweight champion Frank Bruno is live at the Town Hall as a talking host, And we have an American Highway Tribute Show with iconic music from the West Coast. The gardens at Badminton House are open for everyone to see the various displays and all things good, And the Chipping Sodbury Festival takes place with plenty of events to showcase the neighbourhood. So let’s get ready for a busy month of festivals, the summer solstice and meteor showers, And savour the light days, the start of Wimbledon and all the wonderful array of vibrant flowers!
