Play area is now open 2 November 2019

After a few months of development and planning the new play area on the Dairyground in Shutford is now officially open.  

The bespoke design of the multi activity unit is handmade from robinia wood, and was built by a local company, Trevor Stewart Timber Play Equipment, which includes a playhouse and slide, a wobbly bridge, monkey rings, a timber traverse and a climbing wall.   In addition, there are also some new toddler swings, a basket swing and flat swings to complete the play area.   A new noticeboard will also be erected.

There has been amazing support for the project to bring to life the play area on the Dairyground updating the worn-out play equipment with robust new equipment that families can enjoy for years to come.

The project was secured with a grant of £10k from The National Lottery Community Fund, support from Cherwell District Council, Waitrose in Banbury, generous donations from people in the village and Shutford Village Hall.
​
Debbie Pitt, Chair of Parish Council commented: “The Parish Council is delighted that this project is now completed, and we look forward to seeing it being used and giving pleasure to children of all ages.  The Parish Council is very grateful to all the funders and supporters who made this project such a success.”

May Madness

What a fabulous day had by all who joined in the May Madness in Shutford on May 6th.
The Treasure Hunt was hugely supported both by Shutfordians and surrounding villages.
Thank you to everyone who took part, and a special thank you to those behind the scenes, great team work.
​

A whopping £508 was raised for the Shutford Play Area Project! Here are a few photos from the day.
