Welcome to the Braunston in Rutland parish website. We are a thriving village located just two miles from Oakham in the glorious county of Rutland. This website will tell you all about the Parish Council and what our local issues are, plus a wealth of information about the village in general. If you can't find what you want or would like to recommend any improvements to our website then please contact us.
If you are new to the village you might like to download our 'welcome pack' which is designed to get you familiar with what's going on in the village and has some useful contact details.

Activities in the Village Hall
Posted: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 17:30 by Janet Taylor
There is something happening in the hall almost every day - why not try something new this year?
On Monday evenings we have Oakham Sings!, a ladies' singing group where the emphasis is on upbeat music and having fun.
Tuesday and Wednesday you'll find the Braunston Table Tennis Club knocking seven bells out of a ping pong ball, new members always welcome. Also on Wednesday the quilting group meets in the small hall, so whether you're an experienced quilter or just starting out there's a place for you with plenty of good chat thrown in as well.
The Gardening Club meet once a month on a Thursday evening, and again monthly on a Thursday, Leslie Gadd from Lovely Loaves runs a baking class - all ingredients supplied, just bring along a container to take home your goodies.
On Friday mornings there are two Pilates classes, just the thing to tone and strengthen ( maybe counteracting the effects of the Christmas season ! ), and on Friday evenings we have the fortnightly indoor bowls club, another group where the spirit of competition doesn't get in the way of a having a sociable evening out - or at least, not too often !!

If you're interested in joining in the fun and learning something new have a look at the Regular Activities page on the village hall website to find out contact details.

Advent windows

Braunston's Advent Windows have been an amazing success - if you haven't yet seen them all get out there before Jan 5th and be impressed by the creative flair of our village. Thanks to Karen Allen for her inspiration and organisation, and to all those who have taken part.
Church Street closure
Posted: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 12:12 by Janet Taylor
The good news is that we finally have a date for the replacement of the water main on Church St - the bad news is that, of course, there will be disruption in the village while the works are carried out. Once done however, we should see an end to the regular leaks and associated works that have been ongoing for some time, and also there should be an improvement in the water pressure. More »
The work is scheduled to start in mid-October and to take up to 23 days, during which time there will be a diversion implemented along High Street and Cedar Street as necessary.
The detailed RCC road closure notice can be read in the PDf document attached.
