Carol Singing
The former Baptist Chapel was filled with the sound of carols on 11 December accompanied by Mary our in-house organist.
Mulled wine and mince pies helped to clear the throats!
A Taste of Christmas
Headley Shop launched its Christmas product range on 22 Nov in the community room including food, drink, gifts and decorations which are now available to order or purchase in-store.
Hand crafted jewellery, wooden products and wreaths were also available on the day.

Halloween
A local supply of pumpkins were kindly donated to the shop this year, each pumpkin produced a donation to the shop fund.
No trick, just a treat for the community store and pumpkin owners!
Macmillan Cancer Support
The annual coffee morning in support of Macmillan in September raised several hundred pounds.
The community room attached to the shop is available for hire at only £7.50 +vat per hour.
Enquiries welcomed in-store.
Shop Newsletter December 2025
We held our usual Christmas tasting event in November to promote and display items specially purchased for the festive season. If you missed the event, we still have some items to sell. See below the image of some of the things that are available.
We will be having Christmas Carols on Thursday 11 December starting at 6pm when mulled wine and other treats will be served. Weather permitting, it will be outside the Shop but in the community room if it rains. In past years, we have filled the road outside so bring a torch although there will be flood lighting.
We understand there may be the perception in the community that the Shop is too expensive to use. As a non profit making business, we are able to operate at lower margins than comparable businesses. We ran an exercise some months ago and compared our prices on about 70 items with Tesco and found that most of our prices were similar if not cheaper than our well known competitor. We want to dispel the idea that as a small shop, our prices are unaffordable. Come and see what we can offer without any obligation to buy anything.
Sadly this will be the last edition of the Parish Magazine in printed form. We will continue to publish our monthly newsletter on our website (January and August excepted). The website has been reviewed recently and is fully up to date. We intend making greater use of it in future for news on events and products.
A young member of the community has recently come forward and offered her services to help us market the Shop on social and other digital media. We already post on Facebook and Instagram and additionally we now have a Tik Tok account so please look at these for news on events and products.
Our Christmas trading hours for the Shop and Post Office are set out on our contact page. In short, the hours will be normal (as published in previous editions) except that
- we will close the Shop and Post Office at 1pm on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
- The Shop and Post Office will not be open on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day
Newspapers will be delivered on the days when the Shop is open. However, papers will be published on 26 December and 1 January. For any customers with vouchers, if you would like a newspaper on these days, so you can purchase a paper elsewhere, please collect the voucher from the Shop no later than 23 December.
A merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New year to all our customers and the community in general.
The Management Committee
