St Andrew’s Church Hall
We’ve recently launched the new St Andrew’s Church Hall, Chinnor Facebook page and website and would be delighted if you could follow us and, if appropriate, share our page with family and friends.
St Andrew’s Church Hall is a welcoming, flexible community venue available to hire for clubs, classes, meetings, celebrations and events. We’re keen to support local organisations and help people discover this fantastic community space.
We’d really appreciate your support in helping us spread the word.

Chinnor Beer Festival – We Need You!
The countdown to the Chinnor Beer Festival continues, and we’re getting ever closer to Saturday 29th August! As a reminder, the event is taking place on Whites Field, next to Mill Lane Primary School between 12pm and 7pm. We hope to see you there for our 17th annual beer festival.
As the excitement builds, there are two things we still need to make this fantastic community event a success: volunteers and sponsors.
Our volunteers are absolutely vital. From helping to set up and prepare the festival, to supporting us during the event and helping with the clear-up afterwards, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Whether you can spare a few hours or would like to be part of the team throughout the day, we would love to hear from you. No special experience is needed – just a willingness to get stuck in and help your community!
We are also still looking for local businesses and organisations to sponsor the festival. Sponsoring the event is a brilliant way to support Chinnor while getting your business in front of the local community. Most importantly, your support helps us raise more money for grants for young people and youth organisations in the village. We have two main sponsorship packages (Sponsor a beer for £120 or sponsor a cider for £80).
This isn't just a beer festival – it's a community event, for the community. Every volunteer, sponsor and visitor helps us make a bigger difference. On the day, you can look forward to live music, brilliant beer, cool ciders, classic cocktails, fantastic food vendors and more!
If you would like to volunteer, become a sponsor, or simply find out more, the best way to contact the festival committee is to go to Facebook and search for “Chinnor Beer Festival”. Send the page a direct message and a member of the committee will get back to you as soon as possible.
To volunteer, you can also use this QR code:
So come along on Saturday 29th August, bring your friends and family, enjoy some great drinks and food, soak up the sunshine and help us make a difference to the young people of Chinnor. Thank you for your continued support.
We need you – and we can't wait to see you there!

2nd July 2026 - Cllr Georgina Heritage 
Local Matters – What I’ve been doing
Following my visit to Mill Lane School last month I’m really pleased to report that that the planned works to the classrooms are now on track, and the school was visited again very recently by our cabinet member for Children and Young People, Cllr Sean Gaul, with OCC’s Director of Property and Assistant Director for Education. The purpose was to review progress, confirm delivery timelines and ensure alignment with the school’s development priorities. Encouragingly, despite earlier delays at the start of the year, the Property team has successfully recovered the programme and is now operating within the originally agreed timelines, with no anticipated impact on overall delivery. The phasing of internal refurbishment works will be developed in partnership with the school during the design stage. This will determine sequencing, handover of refurbished areas, and integration with the new build. This may influence interim milestones but the overall programme remains on track for full completion by September 2027. Sean and the team will also explore maximising delivery during school holiday periods, while maintaining some flexibility to progress works during term time where feasible (and as agreed with the school).
