Fulford Village

Fulford Village has achieved HIGHLY COMMENDED in the Small Village category of Stafford Area in the finals of the BKV 2017 competition.

See the results and judges' feedback on the BKV Competition page.

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.

As well as the traditional village fete and weekly pub quiz, we are still looking forward with such ideas as a community village garden, and a range of village social events. We are always looking for new additions to our numbers, so if you have any ideas or just like an excuse for a drink in the pub on a Tuesday, please contact us either through the email or the secretary on the contacts page.

We also publish a village newsletter - the latest edition appears below.

 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.
