It's AGM Time - can you help our School?
The 2024 Beechwood Community Christmas Event (BCCE) is organised by Beechwood P&C for and with the Beechwood community. There is plenty to see, do and experience at our event and we are excited to bring you another event that brings our community together.
We are currently looking for local businesses and artisans who would like to have a stall at our Christmas event/market. This is an opportunity for you to showcase your wares to the Beechwood community, and bring in those pre-Christmas sales.
Are you a club, sporting or community group, church, or service organisation that would like to promote what you do to our Beechwood community? Do you need more members for your team, or helpers in your service organisation? Grab a stall and let our town know about what you do!
We will have many amazing fun and interesting activities for children, including face painting. We will add these as we know what extras we will have!
And, of course, we'll have a special visitor later in the evening. Do you have something else you'd like to add? Get in touch below.
From an amazing performance from our local school, and our school choir to other local performers, we will keep you entertained throughout the afternoon and evening.
Are you a local performer who would like to take part? Get in touch below...

This is an amazing alignment for our P&C as we believe in community, and bringing people together in both good times and bad. Beechwood has an amazing reputation for being a place which has strong connections, and when we all need to come together we do.
Beechwood Hotel have come on board for this event as a silver sponsor, and have enabled us to ensure that we can provide the best possible event for our community. They are also allowing us to host our Volunteer Appreciation gathering at Beechwood Hotel on Sunday 15th December, where your first drink is on us if you've volunteered in any way to support our P&C this year.
Our first amazing sponsor to come on board, Playtime Childcare, coming soon to Beechwood!
Playtime Childcare aims to create an environment where children feel safe and empowered to express their individuality, and where families can rely on supportive, nurturing care.
With a focus on nature-based play, our Beechwood center will feature expansive outdoor areas, including dedicated spaces for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, allowing children to explore and engage with the natural world around them.
Pycon Homes has supported this event with a grant that is helping us promote the event.
At Pycon, rather than ask ‘what house do you want?’, they ask ‘what do you want from a house?’. Because if you can spend time thinking through the details of how you live, uncovering the customisations that would add to your life, they can design them within your plan.
Pycon want to ensure that your experience building and designing your own home is as enjoyable as your experience living in it.
