Changes from the 4 July

As of the 4th July the play equipment is open.  Please adhere to the current government guidelines on social distancing. If it is too busy, come back later.

The Interpretation Board, which stands in the village near the War Memorial, is the result of an idea put into action by Bradford Abbas History Society. 

Angela Haigh, Chair of the History Society,  tells us the story of the Interpretation Board for which we have to thank Derek Hayward for all the hard work he put in to make it finally happen, together with several very generous funders.
