Parish Council representatives were delighted to attend the annual Village of the Year awards 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.
