Winner of Village of the Year 2024

Parish Council representatives were delighted to attend the annual Village of the Year awards last night and enjoyed a celebration of all the fantastic work happening across the County, making our communities great places to live and work.

And the best news is:
Elvetham Heath was crowned the overall winner  of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Village of the Year for 2024.

The judges who came to visit in July commented that whilst Elvetham Heath is still relatively young, it has rapidly become a strong community with its own identity and sense of  belonging. There is something for everyone at Elvetham Heath, and residents are proud of where they live.

We were also recognised with a Highly Commended award for Best Community Event with special mention for the Concert on the Green and Carols in the Key.

Thanks go to 2023 winners Shefield on Loddon Parish Council and HALC for hosting and organising the event, plus a special shout out to our neighbours at Winchfield who won Best Small Village of the Year for 2024.
