The village green is a haven for local wildlife, including a vast array of pollinators. The Yellow Underwing moth enjoys open, grassy lowland areas and the Blood-vein moth likes damp, wet meadows. Our village green provides a great habitat for both of these species and both are pictured below resting on the green last year.

The annual 'Cricket on the Green' yesterday was great fun! We managed to dodge the downpours and took advantage of the sunshine and very warm weather. A great turnout as usual! 🏏😊

Yesterday was a fantastic celebration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day! The village came together to remember those who lived - and died - during the war. The party was extremely well attended and all had a great day. Thank you to the staff and children of Ribchester St Wilfrid's C of E Primary School for their lovely poems which we all enjoyed. Thanks also to Ribchester Music Makers for the great war time songs - played and sung so well – and to the The Black Bull Ribchester for donating the delicious sandwiches and pork pies. Special thanks to www.displaywizard.co.uk for designing, creating and supplying the fabulous info/image boards which gave a great insight into life in the village during WW2.
