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.
Local news is all around us and as almost everyone now carries a camera with them on their phone, they can take photos, are you a budding journalist? a cub reporter or just someone who happens to be in the right place at the right time? again just tell us the news and we'll share it here.
We hope you find the site useful but if you think there's something missing do please get in touch and we'll endeavour to add it. You can add comments to selected articles on the site and send us some feedback via our VISITORS BOOK.
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.
Mr Henderson was once HM Queen Elizabeth’s trumpeter — he’s now in civvie street and regarded as one of the UK’s finest players. His classical, jazz, folk and stage credentials are top-notch and he’s bringing us a show that illustrates how great trumpet players have shaped different genres through the decades. On stage with Stuart will be Dean Stockdale (piano), Paul Jefferies (bass) and Gaz Hughes (drums).
Remember a Loved One This Spring with a Sunset Rose
This spring, Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity has partnered with the magnificent Waddesdon Manor to create a beautiful new Forever Flowers tribute. In April, the Rose Garden at Waddesdon Manor near Aylesbury will be transformed by a stunning temporary display of 1,200 bespoke metal Sunset Roses, each symbolising the life, love and memories of someone special.
Princes Risborough Young Farmers Club would like to thank everyone who supported both the Christmas Charity Road Run and the Christmas Tree Collection.
An incredible crowd lined all along the route to see a parade of 300 vintage, modern tractors and commercial vehicles.
With the committee supported by an army of volunteers’ bucket collecting and marshalling along with several local businesses and our sponsors: Addingrove Dairy, K&A Scaffolding, M Stevens Garden Machinery, Johnson Agri Plant and Kingshills Estate Agents it was a great way to start Christmas for many.
