Roundhouse Repairs Completed

As many will already know, the Roundhouse at Easebourne Park was significantly damaged by vandals last Autumn, causing damage which ran to thousands of pounds. The race was on to get the repairs done before the Carols in the Park event, due to be held in mid-December. Thanks to the hard work of the team of Councillors responsible for management of the park and various contractors, the work was completed in time and the event was a huge success.

Special thanks go to Artizans of Wood for making time in their busy schedule to prioritise the repair and to S Chandler Contracting for a very kind donation of wood.

Could you be a Parish Councillor?

The Parish Council currently has 2 vacancies for new Councillors.

You don’t need to have been involved in local Council before and you don’t need any specific experience. It’s more important to have a willingness to be part of your community and want to make a difference.

As a Parish Council we get involved in a variety of areas, including local planning applications and longer term strategy, highways improvements and of course budget setting. We also look after Easebourne Park and as you might have heard are now working on an exciting project to create a Community Hub.

If you’d like to find out more about what’s involved and how you could help, please get in touch to arrange an informal chat.

Easebourne Community Hub Update

Easebourne Parish Council are progressing this community initiative after the Christmas break.

  • The Planning Application has been submitted.
  • A project manager (PM) has been appointed by EPC, post a competitive tendering process, and the PM is in the process of refining costings by consultation with relevant trade experts.
  • The funding process is going to take longer that we had hoped but we are now finalising a plan and will issue updates on this as soon as we have them. In the meantime if anyone in the Parish has fundraising experience please get in touch!
  • Further essential consultation with parishioners is being prepared, this next phase to be a series of meetings where the EPC will have displays of what is proposed and will be eager to listen to what our community has to say about these detailed plans. These open meetings will also be used to launch an Easebourne Community Hub “go fund me” type of initiative where interested parishioners will be given the opportunity to donate towards this important community facility.

Another Success Story from a Parish Council Grant Recipient

Easebourne Parish Council awarded a grant of £250 to Home-Start Chichester & District in October 2025 and has received a lovely report from them on how the funds have been put to use directly supporting families in Easebourne.

This Charity matches trained volunteers with families in need of practical and emotional support, who then visit them at home weekly. They also run a support group in Midhurst for the families that they assist and organise tea parties, picnics and day trips. As a direct result of their work, these families are less isolated, parents and children have improved wellbeing and parents have improved parenting and family management skills.

Well done to everyone at Home-Start for making a difference in our community!

EPC grant helps “Midhurst Christmas Elves” to provide goodie bags for children in receipt of free school meals

The Midhurst Christmas Elves have once again provided goodie bags to local children in receipt of free school meals, with funding from ourselves, the Rotary Club and several other organisations. This group of volunteers sourced, put together and delivered the bags in early December, to help bring some cheer at a time of year which can be very difficult for some.

The Parish Council are very pleased to support such work and would remind other local charitable organisations that applications are reviewed twice annually (April and October) with grants of up to £250 available for causes that directly benefit Easebourne residents. Please see the grants and donations policy for more information.

Well done to the Christmas Elves!

Christmas arrives at Easebourne Park, with successful carol concert

Christmas arrived early at Easebourne Park this weekend, with a packed out Carols in the Park event.

The Parish Council once again teamed up with Easebourne Primary School PTA to bring another successful collaborative event to our Parish. With performances from Petworth Choir and children from the School, the atmosphere under the lights was beautiful (and dry, which was a Christmas miracle given the soaking we have had over the past few weeks!). Some of the children visited “Farmer Christmas” in his tractor and trailer grotto and everyone enjoyed mince pies, hot chocolate and mulled wine. There was even a Christmas Pony on hand to greet the children while they queued for the grotto. We finished off the afternoon with some real belters that everyone could join in with and an exciting raffle.

Thanks must go out to all of the volunteers who made the event possible, the Choir, all of the sponsors and everyone who turned out to support this pilot event. All proceeds will go to the PTA, to put towards their projects within the Primary School this academic year.
