Winsham Festival of Arts and Leisure,
 
September 26th-October 10th, 2026

At the end of September, Winsham is to hold a two-week Festival of Arts and Leisure-in short--- Winfest ’26.

 Its purpose is simple: to hold a diverse and entertaining programme of events which will meet the widest variety of tastes and interests for the people of Winsham and the surrounding area.

Our first event is a concert by the Kilima Quartet in St Stephen’s Church.  Winfest 26 will end with a special Harvest Festival Supper in the Jubilee Hall.

It will show and remind residents of all ages, especially people who have moved to Winsham in recent years, of the amazing resources and support available within this small parish.

Festival events will be presented by interest groups and individuals in various locations around the village. Sometimes admission will be free, or there may be a modest charge or request for a donation to help cover expenses.

At present some fourteen groups and individuals are keen to become involved, including Winsham Art Club, Winsham Shop, Winsham Community Club, St Stephen’s, Winsham Aikido Club and Kilima Farm Music.

The festival also wants to promote craftspeople in the parish, perhaps by running skills demonstration workshops, or an exhibition of work.  We are keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in taking part.

The festival organisers will undertake to create a promotional umbrella to ensure that the events are publicised within Winsham and adjoining areas.

If you have a skill or talent that you think would fit into the scenario explained above, please contact.

Winsham Aikido Club
A message from Eileen Honeybun-Leader

All change for Winsham Aikido Club

After 33 years with the Ki Federation, Winsham Aikido Club has recently moved to the Shin Shin Aikido Association under the direction of Sensei Peter Hughes, 8th Dan.  The move provides greater freedom in the way the club is run and the opportunity to study 'enhanced ki development' which will raise the standard of practice.  The club will still teach ki aikido as before and classes are still offered every Sunday 10am to noon, Monday 6.30 - 8.30 and occasional Thursday evenings by arrangement.  Anyone interested is welcome to watch a class or contact Eileen on 07500543695.
