Fulford Best Kept Village

Fulford Village achieved THIRD PLACE in the Small Village category of Stafford Area in the finals of the BKV 2018 competition.

See the results and judges' feedback on the

BKV Competition page.

The judges visit in May and June and visit again in July if the village gets through to the area final. 

Fulford is a small to medium working village in the heart of Staffordshire, located to the east of Stoke-on-Trent.  With an active village and farming community, we are proud to take part in the Best Kept Village competition and organise regular events, including an annual Fulfest music festival, and monthly walks from autumn through to spring (including a rhododendron walk and an infamous dawn chorus walk).

The aim of the site is to provide information about our village and the events that are taking place this year. For the last eight years we used the Best Kept Village competition to bring together  groups of residents who have a sense of pride in their village and the determination and enthusiasm to pursue a range of activities. The result was the emergence of the 'Fulford Village Group', an informal group (open to all) that has worked on a wide range of initiatives:

• Best Kept Village Competition.
• Save the Public House.
• Social activities for the Village.
• Fulfest (an annual local music festival).
• Improving communication with and supporting all community organisations.  
• Footpath walks and improvements to the footpath network.
• Fulford Community Choir.
• Jubilee Sign.
• Village Well

• War Memorial restoration

Thank you Fulford. We have done it!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated.

We have smashed our £2,500 target and the renovation will start in January 2019. Please may we ask that any remaining envelopes or donations be handed in as soon as possible so that we can update the final total and share our detailed plans. Fulford Village Group

 Fulford receives two unannounced visits from the Best Kept Village judges, one in May and one in June and if lucky enough to get through to the final round, another visit in July.

The Inaugural General Meeting of the Fulford Village Group (FVG) was held at Fulford Village Hall on Tuesday 16th December 2014 at 7.30 pm at which the Constitution of the Society was approved and adopted and the Officers appointed.
