  • Holt Players’ latest show features new faces. The next performance by the award-winning Holt Players will be Pack of Lies by Hugh Whitemore, a true story of international spies, lies, betrayal, and an ordinary middle-class family who got caught up in the middle. The production, running from Thursday 28th November to Saturday 30th November at Holt Village Hall, features two newcomers to the Players: teenager Poppy Foot from Bradford on Avon and Kirstin West from Melksham. Kirstin, Holt Players’ newest member, gamely stepped into the breach last month when her part unexpectedly became vacant. “We were delighted to welcome Kirstin to our talented cast a few weeks ago,” said director Simon Welch. “I have waited many years to have the chance to direct this play.

  • Plans for disused telephone boxes revisited. Plans for two decommissioned red telephone boxes in Melksham are being revisited by the town council, as they have remained unused despite several proposals since their adoption in 2020. The council adopted the boxes—one on Spa Road and the other on Littlejohn Avenue near the Pig and Whistle pub—from BT in 2020. After tidying them up, the council sought suggestions from community groups in 2021 regarding potential uses for the boxes. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • Melksham Times Past. Trees, parks and roads for the Silver Jubilee A column about days gone by in Melksham by local historian Lisa Ellis Prior to King George V, British monarchs only celebrated jubilees after 50 years on the throne. In 1935, his Majesty was the first to celebrate a Silver Jubilee, marking his 25 years as monarch. Following with tradition of past jubilees, King George V commissioned trees to be planted in his honour, thus providing work to hundreds of people at a time when there was high unemployment and economic difficulties in Britain.

  • Coming up at Monday Movies. The next Melksham Monday Movies will feature two hit films: My Old Lady, starring Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith, and A Boy Called Christmas, also starring the late Maggie Smith. My Old Lady tells the story of a down-and-out New Yorker named Mathias (Kevin Kline), who travels to Paris to liquidate a huge, valuable apartment he has inherited from his estranged father.

  • Christmas wreaths and new member search for Townswomen’s Guild. Members of the Melksham Townswomen’s Guild got into the festive spirit this month by making Christmas wreaths, as they aim to recruit new members. The group’s chairman, Tricia Hoy, said, “One member was a bit concerned about managing tricky greenery onto a hoop, but no! Linda McCloud had prepared many strips of colourful material to knot around a wooden hoop, so no sore fingers – just beautiful finished wreaths ready to decorate our homes next month!” Tricia also highlighted that, due to low membership numbers, the group faces the possibility of closure. “We need to recruit new members to keep our group going,” she explained. “We meet on the second Friday of each month at 2pm and are a very friendly group.

  • Care home brings Munich to Melksham with Oktoberfest celebrations. A Melksham care home transformed its reception area into a lively Oktoberfest celebration last month, bringing together residents, their families and their friends for an “unforgettable” evening. Blenheim House, part of the Berkley Care Group, treated attendees to music, games and authentic German snacks in an event hosted by The Bierkeller Boys, a Bavarian oompah band.

  • Dark tales of Wiltshire and a mummified hand – what’s on at the Atworth History Group. At their last meeting, the Atworth History Group welcomed local historian Claire Mills, who gave an entertaining talk about the darker side of Wiltshire. The group heard about several haunted places and the stories of the people who were doing the haunting, as well as a mummified hand found in the haunch (a snug) of the Venison pub in Salisbury. It is thought to be from the 18th century and belonged to a player who lost it in a card game due to cheating. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
