Hedge Cutting & Hedge News
We have applied for 120 new hedging plants from the Woodland Trust. If we are successful in our application we will be hosting a community planting day at the end of the year. We will keep you posted.....
We usually arrange for the boundary hedges to be cut twice a year - firstly in March/April and secondly in October/November funded with thanks by Blofield Parish Council. We aim to do this at these timings to better support the local wildlife. Once we have confirmed dates in the diary for hedge cutting we will post them here. The boundary hedges are cut to a height of approximately 2m high.
Hedges are cut by a professional company contracted by the Hall.
We are responsible for our side of the boundary hedge and neighbours sharing the boundary hedge are responsible for cutting their own side of their hedge, wether you have added an additional fence to your garden or not. If trimmings from our cut fall into your garden you are welcome to toss them back. Please dispose of your own hedge trimmings.
Hedges are now next due to be cut in APRIL/MAY 2026 or possibly later depending on growth & weather conditions.
Some trimming by hand may occur where necessary between cuts - usually around the tennis court edges.
Work is in progress refurbishing the Committee room which sits behind the stage. We have cleaned and painted the walls a 'calming cream' so the walls are no longer bright yellow, and we have pealed back the carpet tiles revealing a beautiful wooden floor. We are archiving hall records and sorting through unwanted bits collected over the years. We will be featuring some of our finds in the exhibition in September "Blofield - a living history" where you will be able to get up close to artefacts collected over the decades which form a patchwork of our living history.
We are searching for grants for disability access funding - as this room has stairs either side of the stage. If you know of anyone who can help with this please do get in touch. We are a registered charity and would love to be able to open the room fully to the public. At the moment it is used by Blofield Preschool (behind the scenes) and for our Committee meetings. We plan to create a cosy craft space in the long term - accessible by all.
