Yattendon Parish Website

One of our main events of the year, in conjunction with our sister village Frilsham, is the Annual Fete, held on the last Bank Holiday in May.. Do come along and join us for this fun event – full details on our Fete page.

The residents of Yattendon Parish,which includes Burnt Hill, would like to welcome you to our web site. We have set up this website in order to provide information, directions and contact details for the Parish. Our publication, the Yattendon Parish Plan also contains detailed information including residents’ views of life in Yattendon as well as plans for improving the quality of living in the Parish. If you would like to view this plan and the 5 year Parish plan refresh document of 2011, please click here.

If you are involved with any community projects in the area or would like to submit information for the site or the Parish Plan or if you would like to volunteer for more involvement in Parish affairs please feel free to contact us.

The poet Robert Bridges wrote of “…the dedicated charm of Yattendon”. We hope too you will enjoy your involvement with the web-site and its associated links.
