Southwater Annual Parish Meeting Gets a Fresh New Format

This year’s Southwater Annual Parish Meeting is set to feel a little different, in a good way. Taking place on Thursday 28th May 2026 at the Lardner Hall at The Ghyll, the event is now evolving into a more engaging, community-focused networking evening.

Alongside the usual opportunity to hear updates about the last year, the event will now include stalls hosted by local groups, schools, volunteers and individuals delivering projects and helping the community in Southwater. It’s a chance for residents to see what’s happening locally, ask questions, and make new connections, all in one place. Refreshments will also be provided.

Whether you’re new to the village, looking to get involved in upcoming projects and events, join a local group, or simply curious about what’s going on in your community, this event offers a relaxed and welcoming way to meet others and discover opportunities.

Stallholders can set up from 5:00pm, with the meeting and networking running from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. A full programme and list of attending organisations will be shared once confirmed.

(Please contact us if you would like to have a stall at the event.)

Everyone is welcome, we hope to see you there.
