Local Community Groups

North Huish Community Group

North HuishNorth Huish Community Group aims to arrange social events at St Mary's Church which is the only community meeting space for the residents of North Huish village.

This group was set up in 2023 with the purpose of organising community events for the residents of North Huish and surrounding villages. The venue is St Mary’s Church, North Huish, now closed for regular public worship but kept open to the public, providing a meeting space for the local community. This beautiful Grade 1 listed building is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, a national charity protecting historic churches at risk. Funds donated at events held there help to support the cost of repair and maintenance which, in a typical year, can amount to nearly £2,000. Currently, there is a power supply but no electric circuit installed so, this year, a proportion of the funds raised are to be set aside to pay for the installation of electric sockets where they are
most needed for safety and convenience when running events.

Events planned for 2024 are:

  • Saturday 21st September: Harvest Lunch, 12.00 – 2.00pm. Ploughman's Lunch + dessert + soft drink.
  • Monday 11th November: Armistice Day short Act of Remembrance,10.50 in support of the Royal British legion. Coffee and biscuits served.
  • Sunday 8th December: Carols by Candlelight, 4.00pm. Mulled wine and mince pies served.

The North Huish Community Group look forward to welcoming you at any of these events. People from surrounding villages and beyond are most welcome to attend.

The NHCG is run independently of both the Parochial Church Council of Diptford with North Huish and the North Huish Parish Council but aims to cater for a wide range of interests and activities. Enquiries and offers of help can be sent by email to: northhuishchurch@hotmail.com
