Social Connections Project

 Without a pub or local shop there are limited opportunities to meet and get to know our neighbours. We aim to support social connectivity in Newstead. 

NVCT have facilitated a range of social events to provide entertainment and education, promote social cohesion and wellbeing and simply to enable neighbours to meet and get to know one another informally.

To date we have organised;

Community Picnics on the Green

Annual Fundraising Walks

Jubilee Celebration Event

Nature-themed community events such as launch of the Village Green Bio-blitz, Hedgehog Information session, Bat and Moth Nights.

Established the Triple Peaks Community Cinema

Annual Carol Singing 


COMING IN 2025!

We are currently in the process of planning a Newstead Sundials Festival to take place in September 2025.

This will be half day event to celebrate Newstead's unique heritage and history. 

Centred around the Village Green the Festival will be an interesting, fun, creative event  including, music, workshops, displays, storytelling and refreshments.

It will be an opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate all the things we love about our Village and its surroundings. There will be opportunities to participate in workshops, to volunteer in the planning and on the day. 

Watch this space over the coming months as our plans come together!
