Welcome to This Is Chinnor, THE site for Chinnor, a village in the foothills of the Chilterns.
We're a friendly village with lots of activities, sports and events. We created this website to help keep everyone up to date and to provide news and information about such activities and the community groups that organise and manage them. They let us know what's going on and we share this with everyone.
All local groups are welcome to promote their events with us, just get in touch and we'll put it on the site. Don't forget to send us a poster.
You can contact us via our form here. Read and join fellow Chinnorians in our FaceBook Page.
Our monthly Climate Café takes place this Thursday 12th in Chinnor Village Centre from 10.30-11.30am and every second Thursday at the same times. It's a welcoming space for people (not just Chinnor residents) to join the conversation about climate change, nature and the environment. All are welcome.
Our next Repair Café will be at St Andrew’s Church on Saturday 16th May 10 am – 1 pm (last item accepted 12:30 pm). This ties in with the ‘The Big Fix 2026’! The Big Fix is Britain’s BIGGEST repair cafe! All around the country, fixers are gathering in May to fix more items in one day than ever before. I think this will be an extra special event. I hope that we will see you there!
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for what repairs we can offer. We can’t guarantee to fix everything, but we’ll have a go. Refreshments available. The repairs are free but donations towards costs and St Andrew’s Restoration fund will be gratefully received.
Would you like to help and get more involved? If you are interested in being part of our Repair Cafés, please contact me.
