Nailsea International Bike Show is for one day only in 2024 on Saturday, September 7.
It will run from 11am-6pm at the Ring O'Bells where bikes on show date from 1940s Indians to modern sports bikes and custom motorcycles.
The full programme when compiled will be posted here https://nailseabikers.org.uk/blog/2024/01/16/programme-2024/.
On the stage under the giant outside awning you will hear great music, sit and order food and drink and in the function room and car park will be a variety of stalls and exhibits not forgetting the fundraising auction.

The bike show has been running since 2015 at various venues before moving to the Ring O'Bells in 2010.

In our galleries there are lots of slideshows from previous bike shows at the Royal Oak, Wraxall House and Nailsea & Backwell Rugby FC grounds.

Don't stop the carnival

UPDATE: Nailsea carnival 2024 is definitely happening. After an appeal on social media lots of enthusiast people came forward to help 1st Nailsea Scouts with the parade. Bridget Wyatt said: "I am please to say we had a great meeting on Thursday night at our Clevedon Road HQ and have a new committee, brimming with fresh ideas and enthusiasm. The carnival will definitely be running this year and we have already set a planning meeting for later in February." Great news. For Saturday, July 6, in your diaries. Planning and selling programme advertising  has begun

 

The carnival for 2024 was in danger of being cancelled as 1st Nailsea Scouts couldn't provide all the manpower needed to stage the best tradition event on the village calendar.

Then Bridget Wyatt put on a plea on social media - see below.

She said: "We have had a fantastic response to our social media post and will be holding a meeting on Thursday, February 15 at 7pm at 1st Nailsea Activity and Training Centre, Clevedon Road, for all those who have expressed an interest in helping.

"I am quietly confident that the event will be able to run this year.

The date for the carnival and fair at Millennium Park is Saturday, July 6.

Bridget added: "We need help with the planning and preparation in advance of the event.

"In particular, canvassing local businesses to advertise, submission of the event application to North Somerset Council, and encouraging local groups to participate in the carnival procession and have a stall at the fair."

Nailsea Farmers' Market trades throughout the year on the third Saturday of each month with a variety of food, drink and craft stalls.

On Saturday, May 18, Somerset Farmers' Market looks forward to filling the High Street with activity and bustle, music and sunshine as they welcome farmers, food producers, craftspeople and customers!
The market continues to expand and expects more than 45 stalls including seasonal flowers, plants and hanging baskets.
In March we saw the introduction of Ambrose Farm with their free range poultry and duck & quail eggs and Baker in a Beanie with his organic ancient grain loaves.

New to Nailsea for April was patisserie The  Macaroom with specialities such as sweet pastry tarts, macarons & bon bons!.
And also in April community groups 2nd Nailsea Scouts, Mizzymead Recreation Centre bowls and tennis clubs and Nailsea & Tickenham Football Club promoting Frythtivall music fest and Nailsea & Backwell Rotary Club on a recruitment drive were there.

Halfway down the High Street was a coffee stop with seating as the road is always closed to traffic all day.

Singer and musician Martin Radford made sweet sounds and Somerset Cheese Company set up their stall with Bath Soft Cheese selling their fresh unhomogenised milk.

This year marks the 13th annual charity walks and runs organised by the Rotary Club of Nailsea and Backwell.

The popular event is on Sunday, June 9, and there really is something for everyone to enjoy.

Nailsea Charity Walks & Runs gives people the opportunity to get together, enjoy the glorious North Somerset countryside with friends and family and raise money for their favourite local good causes.

It’s also a way for local charities, schools, organisations and sports clubs to raise money with a sponsored walk or run.

Every year the event raises more than £20,000 for good causes.

There are three clearly marked route and no-one has yet got lost!

They are a 5k ‘stroll’ which is also suitable for disability vehicles and pushchairs/strollers, a 10k for those who prefer a slightly more challenging route and a 20k for the more experienced walker who is fit and enjoys even more of a challenge.

Based at the Scotch Horn Centre in Nailsea all routes start and finish here.

And if June 9th isn’t a good date for you or your group you have until the end of July to complete the challenge with maps and markers available.

Rotarian Alan Davies said: “Charities are struggling in these difficult times and desperately need our support.

“So we are challenging the community to put out another record number of participants in 2024 and to raise another record amount of money.”

For full details, including how to register to take part, go to https://bit.ly/NailseaWalks.

Any queries can be addressed to Bob Keightley at RotaryNailseaWalks@outlook.com.

We’ll see you there!

West Country favourites The Wurzels are returning to Cadbury House this summer.

Performing their popular West Country classics, such as I am a Cider Drinker, Blackbird, I’ve Got a Brand New Combine Harvester and Drink Up Thy Zider, the event is on Saturday, June 29, within the stunning setting of the luxury four-star hotel.

General manager Gareth Ireland said: “The Wurzels are legends around the West Country and to have them perform again here at Cadbury House is fantastic news.

“They’ve played here many times before and it’s always been a memorable night. Their unique entertainment style is always a winner and we’ve no doubt that this night will be just as good!”

Tickets for the night cost £20 but anyone interested is being advised to reserve soon as space is limited.

Guests will also be able to buy a hog roast roll adding to the country theme.

Gareth added: “We’ve had a lot of interest already and if anyone is thinking about coming along to enjoy some top-quality West Country entertainment, I recommend they get in touch fast to avoid disappointment.”

For further information or to reserve tickets please call 01934 834 343 (option 1) between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday or email info@cadburyhouse.com

WURZELS LP WITH ADGE CUTLER TAKEN OUTSIDE ROYAL OAK PUB.jpg
WURZELS LP PICTURE TAKEN AT ROYAL OAK PUB.jpg
Statue and Tribute to Adge.jpg
TRIBUTE TO ADGE.jpg

To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Adge Cutler, of Wurzels fame the Royal Oak pub in Nailsea High Street is hosting a cider festival on Sunday, May 5, noon to 7pm.

It is inviting cider drinkers to commemorate the event by coming along and raising a glass to the legendary Adge, founder of the world famous Somerset group.

Adge passed away 50 years ago on May 5, 1974. 

At the pub there will be live music with the Twice Dailies and Salvage Crew, as well as fun for all ages and the opportunity to try different ciders.

Alan John Cutler was born in Portishead, nicknamed 'Adge' by his friends, from his initials AJ and while living in Nailsea went to school and worked at Coates ciderworks.

Adge's songs were largely sung in his own accent, though some are in an exaggerated Bristolian accent. 

He died when he crashed his MGB sports car on a roundabout in Chepstow, following a Wurzels concert.

He is buried in the graveyard of Christ Church, Nailsea.

A bronze statue of Adge was installed outside the Royal Oak pub in Nailsea in October 2016.

Several of his albums were recorded at the pub and LP covers still adorn the walls.

One of Adge’s best known songs Drink Up Thy Zyder is regarded as the national anthem of North Somerset and Bristol, if not all of Somerset.

It is very fitting that the live music will be from the Twice Dailies who describe themselves ‘A tribute act dedicated to Adge Cutler & The Wurzels’. 

They will be covering Adge’s songs from Drink Up Thy Zyder, Ain't No Ferry To Glastonbury’ to Blackbird I’ll Have E.

The Twice Dailies say they are really looking forward to playing at the cider festival at the Royal Oak commemorating Adge. 

The Twice Dailies are actually named after one of his songs called Twice Daily.

  • The Wurzels sadly without Adge are still going strong and booked to play at Cadbury House Hotel on Saturday, June 29.

Farewell performance brings the house downTheatregoers have a poignant yet funny treat to look forward to in Nailsea.
The town’s Little Theatre will be staging The Actress by Peter Quilter at its Union Street home.
The play dramatises events backstage as a colourful, complicated actress delivers her farewell performance.
Drama and comedy collide as old acquaintances say their goodbyes, declare their love, roar with laughter, spit insults, grab a final embrace and renew old battles.
The production opens with a 2.30pm matinee on Sunday, June 2, and continues with six evening performances at 7.45pm from Monday to Saturday, June 3-8.
Director Connie Walker says: "Peter Quilter is an ever so talented West End and Broadway playwright whose plays have been translated into 30 languages and performed in 40 countries.
"The Actress had its world premiere in Rio de Janeiro in May 2015 and is both poignant and funny in its portrayal of a theatrical night to remember."
For tickets £12 call the box office on 0777 298 1037 (50p handling fee for payments by
cheque) or book online (50p booking fee) at www.ticketsource.co.uk (search for Nailsea
Little Theatre) or at www.ntc-online.co.uk.
