June 2016
The Queen's Jubilee was used as a reason to hold the first Riverside Event which was attended by over 500 residents and visitors.
The volunteer organisers were a mix of Councillors and residents who arranged Music and Entertainment, a Hog Roast, Gourmet Burgers. Tea and cakes were run by the scouts and brownies and other attractions included pony rides and a hot air balloon all operated by residents from the village.

Considerable support was given by local businesses many of who saw increased business from the event. Particular mention must be given to the musicians who gave their services for free, Frome Scaffolding for the stage and the White Lion who lend much equipment and donated a whole pig for the roast
The proceeds exceeded £500 and were shared between four village organisations.
