  • Warminster to host free day celebrating local wildlife A free nature event organised by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust will come to Warminster this month. Country Comes to Town will take place at the Lake Pleasure Grounds and Smallbrook Meadows Nature Reserve on Saturday 16th May. From 10am to 4pm, visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities celebrating local wildlife and the trust’s conservation work across the county. Activities will include guided tours of Smallbrook Meadows, children’s crafts, hook-a-duck, a smoothie bike and the chance to meet local wildlife experts, including the trust’s award-winning water team, Warminster Toad Patrol and Sustainable Warminster. “We are thrilled to bring the magic of the countryside into the heart of Warminster this year,” said Becki McKinlay, director of engagement and fundraising. “This event is such a great opportunity for us as Wiltshire’s local Wildlife Trust to connect with our community and show people the incredible nature that can be found right on our doorstep."

  • New walking group brings young women together A new social walking group for younger women has been set up by two Warminster friends. A total of 24 local women attended the first Third Space Girls walk in Longleat Forest. Friends Katie and Ellie created Third Space Girls, a social walking community for women aged 18 to 30 to bring like-minded people together outdoors and help them meet new people. “It was such a success, and it was wonderful to see so many people interested in the walk,” said Katie. “Everyone was so lovely and there was a great community atmosphere. We had to split the walk into two groups, morning and afternoon, because there were so many people. “We were very lucky with the weather; we probably came over prepared expecting lots of rain, but it was really beautiful. We did an 8km loop with a coffee and pupuccino break, then stopped at the The Bath Arms afterwards for a drink and a snack. It couldn’t have gone much better for the first event and we’re getting straight on with planning the next couple of events.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Slimming World Warminster brings all sessions under one roof A weight management group in Warminster has brought all of its local sessions together at a single venue as it continues to promote a long-term approach to healthy living. Slimming World Warminster is now based at Warminster Baptist Church in North Row, where four weekly sessions are held. Local consultant Gary Timperley says Slimming World programme is built around sustainable lifestyle change rather than short-term dieting, working towards gradual weight loss. “Slimming World is not about restriction or deprivation; instead, it promotes a healthy, balanced way of eating through our well-known Food Optimising plan,” said Gary. “Members learn how to enjoy everyday foods while still achieving their weight loss goals, removing the guilt and confusion that often comes with dieting. “This approach is not only effective but also sustainable – something many people struggle to find elsewhere."

  • Community event to showcase local health services A free community event bringing together over 40 local health organisations is set to return to Warminster this month. The Warminster Health and Wellbeing Fair allows residents to connect with local health organisations providing expert advice and support. The event will take place on Saturday 16th May from 10am until 1pm at Warminster Civic Centre. “This community event celebrates the rich variety of health services available right on your doorstep,” said Dave Reeves from Health and Wellbeing Warminster, which is organising the fair. “This is the perfect opportunity to engage with service providers and explore new ways to boost your wellbeing.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Residents take next step in bid for town centre green space A new group has been officially launched to campaign for a community green space at a High Street site next to St Lawrence Chapel. The Chapel Green Association was formally launched by residents at a recent meeting at the Wellbeing Hub. Plans to redevelop the site at 3 High Street into a new shop and ten flats were submitted to Wiltshire Council in 2024. After the previous building was demolished, some residents called for the site to be retained as an open green space to “enhance” the view of the adjacent chapel. The new group is campaigning for the land to be kept as a community green. “We had a good turnout,” said project campaigner Maggy Daniell. “We ended up where we wanted to be – Chapel Green Association is now set up. It has the twin aims of preserving the current enhanced view of the chapel by buying the demolition site next to it, and of converting it to a community green. This would be transformative for the town centre, giving it a much-needed green heart." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Warminster Town’s U18s win league at first attempt Warminster Town’s Under-18s have been crowned league champions in their debut season, sealing the title in impressive fashion with a game to spare. The newly formed side have gone unbeaten across 11 matches, scoring 54 goals and conceding just 11. “We’re absolutely delighted to see our Under-18s crowned league champions in their very first season,” said manager Manager Rob Nash. “It’s a fantastic achievement and one that everyone connected with Warminster Town Football Club is incredibly proud of. “From the very beginning, this group of players has shown real commitment, togetherness, and a desire to improve week in, week out. The way they’ve approached the season both in training and on matchdays has been outstanding, and they’ve fully deserved their success. It’s fantastic to bring silverware to the club in the very first season of the U18s setup. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Community gaming hub launches in Warminster A regular tabletop gaming event for enthusiasts and complete beginners is launching in Warminster next month.

  • Athenaeum Singers to perform Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius at Bath Abbey Warminster-based Athenaeum Singers are preparing to take part in a major choral performance at Bath Abbey this week. The choir will join The Malmesbury Singers and the Bath Philharmonia for a performance of Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius at the Abbey on Saturday 9th May at 7pm. Leading the Athenaeum Singers will be their acclaimed Music Director and Conductor Thomas Mottershead. “This will be a very exciting opportunity for two of Wiltshire’s leading choral societies to join forces – something that rarely happens,” he said. “We are also thrilled to be collaborating with one of the South West’s foremost professional orchestras, Bath Philharmonia, in the magnificent setting of Bath Abbey to provide a truly memorable experience for performance and audience alike. Thanks to the sponsorship of Anglian Home Improvements, we can perform this momentous piece at the scale it truly deserves.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Marathon runner raises funds for Warminster charity in honour of mum A man has raised more than £2,000 running the London Marathon for a Warminster charity which has supported his mum since her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. Hugo Campbell-Smith raised over £2,000 for the Warminster-based Wessex MS Therapy Centre, which his mum Sophie is a member of. “At the start of last year my mother was diagnosed with MS,” said Hugo. “Whilst this was shocking news and there was a lot of uncertainty, she has remained impressively positive in the face of a very scary diagnosis thanks to the support of two amazing charities – the Wessex MS Centre in Warminster and Overcoming MS.” MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. There is currently no cure. The centre provides a range of physical, emotional and social therapies to help manage symptoms, promote independence and enhance overall wellbeing.
